Christian Standard Bible

Israel’s Rebellion

20 In the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, some of Israel’s elders came to inquire of the Lord,^(A) and they sat down in front of me. ² Then the word of the Lord came to me: ³ “Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Are you coming to inquire of me? As I live, I will not let you inquire of me.^(B) This is the declaration of the Lord God.’
