Ezekiel 14:3
_ _ heart ... face — The heart is first corrupted, and then the outward manifestation of idol-worship follows; they set their idols before their eyes. With all their pretense of consulting God now, they have not even put away their idols outwardly; implying gross contempt of God. “Set up,” literally, “aloft”; implying that their idols had gained the supreme ascendancy over them.
_ _ stumbling-block of ... iniquity — See Proverbs 3:21, Proverbs 3:23, “Let not them (God’s laws) depart from thine eyes, then ... thy foot shall not stumble.” Instead of God’s law, which (by being kept before their eyes) would have saved them from stumbling, they set up their idols before their eyes, which proved a stumbling-block, causing them to stumble (Ezekiel 7:19).
_ _ inquired of at all — literally, “should I with inquiry be inquired of” by such hypocrites as they are? (Psalms 66:18; Proverbs 15:29; Proverbs 28:9). |

Set up — Are resolved idolaters. The stumbling block — Their idols which were both the object of their sin, and occasion of their ruin. |
