Both the inquirer and the prophet shall bear their iniquity equally—the iniquity of the inquirer and the iniquity of the prophet shall be the same. This verse establishes mutual accountability: those who seek false prophecy and those who deliver it share equal culpability and will receive equal judgment. The parallel structure emphasizes that both parties actively participate in the deception. This principle protects the integrity of prophecy by making false prophets accountable even as it holds accountable those who seek deceptive messages.
