ezekiel 14:5 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

ezekiel 14:5 in order to lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel who are estranged from Me through all their idols."'

5. That I may take--that is, unveil and overtake with punishment the dissimulation and impiety of Israel hid in their own heart. Or, rather, "That I may punish them by answering them after their own hearts"; corresponding to "according to the multitude of his idols" (see on Eze 14:4); an instance is given in Eze 14:9; Ro 1:28; 2Th 2:11, God giving them up in wrath to their own lie.
idols--though pretending to "inquire" of Me, "in their hearts" they are "estranged from Me," and love "idols."

ezekiel 14:5 in order to lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel who are estranged from Me through all their idols."'
