Ezekiel 20

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H7637 And it came to pass in the seventh H8141 year H2549 , in the fifth H6218 month, the tenth H2320 day of the month H582 , that certain H2205 of the elders H3478 of Israel H935 came [H8804]   H1875 to enquire [H8800]   H3068 of the LORD H3427 , and sat [H8799]   H6440 before me.
  2 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of the LORD H559 unto me, saying [H8800]  ,
  3 H1121 Son H120 of man H1696 , speak [H8761]   H2205 unto the elders H3478 of Israel H559 , and say [H8804]   H559 unto them, Thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H935 ; Are ye come [H8802]   H1875 to enquire [H8800]   H2416 of me? As I live H5002 , saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H1875 , I will not be enquired [H8735]   of by you.
  4 H8199 Wilt thou judge [H8799]   H1121 them, son H120 of man H8199 , wilt thou judge [H8799]   H3045 them ? cause them to know [H8685]   H8441 the abominations H1 of their fathers:
  5 H559 And say [H8804]   H559 unto them, Thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H3117 ; In the day H977 when I chose [H8800]   H3478 Israel H5375 , and lifted up [H8799]   H3027 mine hand H2233 unto the seed H1004 of the house H3290 of Jacob H3045 , and made myself known [H8735]   H776 unto them in the land H4714 of Egypt H5375 , when I lifted [H8799]   H3027 up mine hand H559 unto them, saying [H8800]   H3068 , I am the LORD H430 your God;
  6 H3117 In the day H5375 that I lifted up [H8804]   H3027 mine hand H3318 unto them, to bring them forth [H8687]   H776 of the land H4714 of Egypt H776 into a land H8446 that I had espied [H8804]   H2100 for them, flowing [H8802]   H2461 with milk H1706 and honey H6643 , which is the glory H776 of all lands:
  7 H559 Then said [H8799]   H7993 I unto them, Cast ye away [H8685]   H376 every man H8251 the abominations H5869 of his eyes H2930 , and defile [H8691]   H1544 not yourselves with the idols H4714 of Egypt H3068 : I am the LORD H430 your God.
  8 H4784 But they rebelled [H8686]   H14 against me, and would [H8804]   H8085 not hearken [H8800]   H376 unto me: they did not every man H7993 cast away [H8689]   H8251 the abominations H5869 of their eyes H5800 , neither did they forsake [H8804]   H1544 the idols H4714 of Egypt H559 : then I said [H8799]   H8210 , I will pour out [H8800]   H2534 my fury H3615 upon them, to accomplish [H8763]   H639 my anger H8432 against them in the midst H776 of the land H4714 of Egypt.
  9 H6213 But I wrought [H8799]   H8034 for my name's H2490 sake, that it should not be polluted [H8736]   H5869 before H1471 the heathen H8432 , among H5869 whom they were, in whose sight H3045 I made myself known [H8738]   H3318 unto them, in bringing them forth [H8687]   H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt.
  10 H3318 Wherefore I caused them to go forth [H8686]   H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt H935 , and brought [H8686]   H4057 them into the wilderness.
  11 H5414 And I gave [H8799]   H2708 them my statutes H3045 , and shewed [H8689]   H4941 them my judgments H120 , which if a man H6213 do [H8799]   H2425 , he shall even live [H8804]   in them.
  12 H5414 Moreover also I gave [H8804]   H7676 them my sabbaths H226 , to be a sign H3045 between me and them, that they might know [H8800]   H3068 that I am the LORD H6942 that sanctify [H8764]   them.
  13 H1004 But the house H3478 of Israel H4784 rebelled [H8686]   H4057 against me in the wilderness H1980 : they walked [H8804]   H2708 not in my statutes H3988 , and they despised [H8804]   H4941 my judgments H120 , which if a man H6213 do [H8799]   H2425 , he shall even live [H8804]   H7676 in them; and my sabbaths H3966 they greatly H2490 polluted [H8765]   H559 : then I said [H8799]   H8210 , I would pour out [H8800]   H2534 my fury H4057 upon them in the wilderness H3615 , to consume [H8763]   them.
  14 H6213 But I wrought [H8799]   H8034 for my name's H2490 sake, that it should not be polluted [H8736]   H5869 before H1471 the heathen H5869 , in whose sight H3318 I brought them out [H8689]  .
  15 H5375 Yet also I lifted up [H8804]   H3027 my hand H4057 unto them in the wilderness H935 , that I would not bring [H8687]   H776 them into the land H5414 which I had given [H8804]   H2100 them, flowing [H8802]   H2461 with milk H1706 and honey H6643 , which is the glory H776 of all lands;
  16 H3988 Because they despised [H8804]   H4941 my judgments H1980 , and walked [H8804]   H2708 not in my statutes H2490 , but polluted [H8765]   H7676 my sabbaths H3820 : for their heart H1980 went [H8802]   H310 after H1544 their idols.
  17 H5869 Nevertheless mine eye H2347 spared [H8799]   H7843 them from destroying [H8763]   H6213 them, neither did I make [H8804]   H3617 an end H4057 of them in the wilderness.
  18 H559 But I said [H8799]   H1121 unto their children H4057 in the wilderness H3212 , Walk [H8799]   H2706 ye not in the statutes H1 of your fathers H8104 , neither observe [H8799]   H4941 their judgments H2930 , nor defile [H8691]   H1544 yourselves with their idols:
  19 H3068 I am the LORD H430 your God H3212 ; walk [H8798]   H2708 in my statutes H8104 , and keep [H8798]   H4941 my judgments H6213 , and do [H8798]   them;
  20 H6942 And hallow [H8761]   H7676 my sabbaths H226 ; and they shall be a sign H3045 between me and you, that ye may know [H8800]   H3068 that I am the LORD H430 your God.
  21 H1121 Notwithstanding the children H4784 rebelled [H8686]   H1980 against me: they walked [H8804]   H2708 not in my statutes H8104 , neither kept [H8804]   H4941 my judgments H6213 to do [H8800]   H120 them, which if a man H6213 do [H8799]   H2425 , he shall even live [H8804]   H2490 in them; they polluted [H8765]   H7676 my sabbaths H559 : then I said [H8799]   H8210 , I would pour out [H8800]   H2534 my fury H3615 upon them, to accomplish [H8763]   H639 my anger H4057 against them in the wilderness.
  22 H7725 Nevertheless I withdrew [H8689]   H3027 mine hand H6213 , and wrought [H8799]   H8034 for my name's H2490 sake, that it should not be polluted [H8736]   H5869 in the sight H1471 of the heathen H5869 , in whose sight H3318 I brought them forth [H8689]  .
  23 H5375 I lifted up [H8804]   H3027 mine hand H4057 unto them also in the wilderness H6327 , that I would scatter [H8687]   H1471 them among the heathen H2219 , and disperse [H8763]   H776 them through the countries;
  24 H6213 Because they had not executed [H8804]   H4941 my judgments H3988 , but had despised [H8804]   H2708 my statutes H2490 , and had polluted [H8765]   H7676 my sabbaths H5869 , and their eyes H310 were after H1 their fathers H1544 ' idols.
  25 H5414 Wherefore I gave [H8804]   H2706 them also statutes H2896 that were not good H4941 , and judgments H2421 whereby they should not live [H8799]  ;
  26 H2930 And I polluted [H8762]   H4979 them in their own gifts H5674 , in that they caused to pass through [H8687]   H6363 the fire all that openeth H7356 the womb H8074 , that I might make them desolate [H8686]   H3045 , to the end that they might know [H8799]   H3068 that I am the LORD.
  27 H1121 Therefore, son H120 of man H1696 , speak [H8761]   H1004 unto the house H3478 of Israel H559 , and say [H8804]   H559 unto them, Thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H1 ; Yet in this your fathers H1442 have blasphemed [H8765]   H4603 me, in that they have committed [H8800]   H4604 a trespass against me.
  28 H935 For when I had brought [H8686]   H776 them into the land H5375 , for the which I lifted up [H8804]   H3027 mine hand H5414 to give [H8800]   H7200 it to them, then they saw [H8799]   H7311 every high [H8802]   H1389 hill H5687 , and all the thick H6086 trees H2076 , and they offered [H8799]   H2077 there their sacrifices H5414 , and there they presented [H8799]   H3708 the provocation H7133 of their offering H7760 : there also they made [H8799]   H5207 their sweet H7381 savour H5258 , and poured out [H8686]   H5262 there their drink offerings.
  29 H559 Then I said [H8799]   H1116 unto them, What is the high place H935 whereunto ye go [H8802]   H8034 ? And the name H7121 thereof is called [H8735]   H1117 Bamah H3117 unto this day.
  30 H559 Wherefore say [H8798]   H1004 unto the house H3478 of Israel H559 , Thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H2930 ; Are ye polluted [H8737]   H1870 after the manner H1 of your fathers H2181 ? and commit ye whoredom [H8802]   H310 after H8251 their abominations?
  31 H5375 For when ye offer [H8800]   H4979 your gifts H1121 , when ye make your sons H5674 to pass through [H8687]   H784 the fire H2930 , ye pollute [H8737]   H1544 yourselves with all your idols H3117 , even unto this day H1875 : and shall I be enquired [H8735]   H1004 of by you, O house H3478 of Israel H2416 ? As I live H5002 , saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H1875 , I will not be enquired [H8735]   of by you.
  32 H5927 And that which cometh [H8802]   H7307 into your mind H559 shall not be at all, that ye say [H8802]   H1961 , We will be [H8799]   H1471 as the heathen H4940 , as the families H776 of the countries H8334 , to serve [H8763]   H6086 wood H68 and stone.
  33 H2416 As I live H5002 , saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H2389 , surely with a mighty H3027 hand H5186 , and with a stretched out [H8803]   H2220 arm H2534 , and with fury H8210 poured out [H8803]   H4427 , will I rule [H8799]   over you:
  34 H3318 And I will bring you out [H8689]   H5971 from the people H6908 , and will gather [H8765]   H776 you out of the countries H6327 wherein ye are scattered [H8738]   H2389 , with a mighty H3027 hand H5186 , and with a stretched out [H8803]   H2220 arm H2534 , and with fury H8210 poured out [H8803]  .
  35 H935 And I will bring [H8689]   H4057 you into the wilderness H5971 of the people H8199 , and there will I plead [H8738]   H6440 with you face H6440 to face.
  36 H8199 Like as I pleaded [H8738]   H1 with your fathers H4057 in the wilderness H776 of the land H4714 of Egypt H8199 , so will I plead [H8735]   H5002 with you, saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD.
  37 H5674 And I will cause you to pass [H8689]   H7626 under the rod H935 , and I will bring [H8689]   H4562 you into the bond H1285 of the covenant:
  38 H1305 And I will purge out [H8804]   H4775 from among you the rebels [H8802]   H6586 , and them that transgress [H8802]   H3318 against me: I will bring them forth [H8686]   H776 out of the country H4033 where they sojourn H935 , and they shall not enter [H8799]   H127 into the land H3478 of Israel H3045 : and ye shall know [H8804]   H3068 that I am the LORD.
  39 H1004 As for you, O house H3478 of Israel H559 , thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H3212 ; Go [H8798]   H5647 ye, serve [H8798]   H376 ye every one H1544 his idols H310 , and hereafter H8085 also, if ye will not hearken [H8802]   H2490 unto me: but pollute [H8762]   H6944 ye my holy H8034 name H4979 no more with your gifts H1544 , and with your idols.
  40 H6944 For in mine holy H2022 mountain H2022 , in the mountain H4791 of the height H3478 of Israel H5002 , saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H1004 , there shall all the house H3478 of Israel H776 , all of them in the land H5647 , serve [H8799]   H7521 me: there will I accept [H8799]   H1875 them, and there will I require [H8799]   H8641 your offerings H7225 , and the firstfruits H4864 of your oblations H6944 , with all your holy things.
  41 H7521 I will accept [H8799]   H5207 you with your sweet H7381 savour H3318 , when I bring you out [H8687]   H5971 from the people H6908 , and gather [H8765]   H776 you out of the countries H6327 wherein ye have been scattered [H8738]   H6942 ; and I will be sanctified [H8738]   H5869 in you before H1471 the heathen.
  42 H3045 And ye shall know [H8804]   H3068 that I am the LORD H935 , when I shall bring [H8687]   H127 you into the land H3478 of Israel H776 , into the country H5375 for the which I lifted up [H8804]   H3027 mine hand H5414 to give [H8800]   H1 it to your fathers.
  43 H2142 And there shall ye remember [H8804]   H1870 your ways H5949 , and all your doings H2930 , wherein ye have been defiled [H8738]   H6962 ; and ye shall lothe [H8738]   H6440 yourselves in your own sight H7451 for all your evils H6213 that ye have committed [H8804]  .
  44 H3045 And ye shall know [H8804]   H3068 that I am the LORD H6213 , when I have wrought [H8800]   H8034 with you for my name's H7451 sake, not according to your wicked H1870 ways H7843 , nor according to your corrupt [H8737]   H5949 doings H1004 , O ye house H3478 of Israel H5002 , saith [H8803]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD.
  45 H1697 Moreover the word H3068 of the LORD H559 came unto me, saying [H8800]  ,
  46 H1121 Son H120 of man H7760 , set [H8798]   H6440 thy face H1870 toward H8486 the south H5197 , and drop [H8685]   H1864 thy word toward the south H5012 , and prophesy [H8734]   H3293 against the forest H5045 of the south H7704 field;
  47 H559 And say [H8804]   H3293 to the forest H5045 of the south H8085 , Hear [H8798]   H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD H559 ; Thus saith [H8804]   H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H3341 ; Behold, I will kindle [H8688]   H784 a fire H398 in thee, and it shall devour [H8804]   H3892 every green H6086 tree H3002 in thee, and every dry H6086 tree H3852 : the flaming H7957 flame H3518 shall not be quenched [H8799]   H6440 , and all faces H5045 from the south H6828 to the north H6866 shall be burned [H8738]   therein.
  48 H1320 And all flesh H7200 shall see [H8804]   H3068 that I the LORD H1197 have kindled [H8765]   H3518 it: it shall not be quenched [H8799]  .
  49 H559 Then said [H8799]   H162 I, Ah H136 Lord H3069 GOD H559 ! they say [H8802]   H4911 of me, Doth he not speak [H8764]   H4912 parables?
ERV(i) 1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me. 2 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 3 Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Are ye come to inquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you. 4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers; 5 and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, Saying, I am the LORD your God; 6 in that day I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands: 7 And I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God. 8 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me; they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 9 But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 10 So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 11 And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. 12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. 13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned: then I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. 14 But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out. 15 Moreover also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands; 16 because they rejected my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 17 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness. 18 And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols: 19 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them: 20 and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God. 21 But the children rebelled against me; they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my sabbaths: then I said I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. 22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not he profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth. 23 Moreover I lifted up mine hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries, 24 because they had not executed my judgments, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols. 25 Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments wherein they should not live; 26 and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD. 27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. 28 For when I had brought them into the land, which I lifted up mine hand to give unto them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering, there also they made their sweet savour, and they poured out there their drink offerings. 29 Then I said unto them, What meaneth the high place whereunto ye go? So the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day. 30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Do ye pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and go ye a whoring after their abominations? 31 and when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, unto this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you: 32 and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all; in that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. 33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I be king over you: 34 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I plead with you face to face. 36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. 37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; 38 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD: Go ye, serve every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols. 40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. 41 As a sweet savour will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations. 42 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up mine hand to give unto your fathers. 43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have polluted yourselves; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed. 44 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 45 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [thy word] toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South; 47 and say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby. 48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 49 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Is he not a speaker of parables?
