Take an unbiased look at all religious literature. It is full of contradictions.

Let's back up a few verses and try the New Living Translation.
6 "Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: Repent and turn away from your idols, and stop all your loathsome practices. 7 I, the Lord, will punish all those, both Israelites and foreigners, who reject me and set up idols in their hearts so they fall into sin, and who then come to a prophet asking for my advice. 8 I will turn against such people and make a terrible example of them, destroying them. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 9 And if a prophet is deceived and gives a message anyway, it is because I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet. I will stand against such prophets and cut them off from the community of Israel. 10 False prophets and hypocrites-evil people who claim to want my advice-will all be punished for their sins. 11 In this way, the people of Israel will learn not to stray from me, polluting themselves with sin. They will be my people, and I will be their God, says the Sovereign Lord."
It's all about purging idolatry.

You really dig don`t you?I read it this way.If people are worshiping idols it blinds them to the true God and they have been told and showed that he is real.He has told his prophets to tell them to put away those idols and look unto God.They that don`t and go to a prophet for a problem God said that he himself would answer that man by setting his face against him and will make him a sign and a proverb and will cut that man from his people that they will know that God is real and he is the Lord.

Hi! I'm a Muslim. I really didn't get what you've meant; especially that I beleive your Bible to be corrupted with at least 50,000 errors (oh, don't ask me, ask Farell Till instead!). Besides, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was not an Israelite, but an Ishmaelite!
Anyhow, I pray for you that may Allah guide you to the correct faith, Amen! Please open my profile and see the latest question that I've asked. In it, you'll find a lot of solutions to what's worrying you.
Good Luck!

Because you have not read the rest of that chapter and book.
Context is everything.
If they had followed after God and left off worshipping their idols, everything would have been fine.
Mark 1:15
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

He is talking about idol worshipers. And it says that he will destroy him from the midst's of the people of Israel. If your not a Jew, I wouldn't be too concerned with it. What is the Koran, I have never heard of that book. If it is a book that Mohammad wrote, your spelling is about as accurate as its words.

What are you doing?
Obviously, this is taken out of it's full context so include the context - otherwise you are trolling.
