H7637
It happened 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
H1875
to inquire
H3068
of Yahweh,
H3427
and sat
H6440
before me.
3
H1121
Son
H120
of man,
H1696
speak
H2205
to the elders
H3478
of Israel,
H559
and tell
H559
them, Thus says
H136
the Lord
H136
Yahweh:
H1875
Is it to inquire
H935
of me that you have come?
H2416
As I live,
H5002
says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh,
H1875
I will not be inquired of by you.
4
H8199
Will you judge
H1121
them, son
H120
of man,
H8199
will you judge
H3045
them? Cause them to know
H8441
the abominations
H1
of their fathers;
5
H559
and tell
H559
them, Thus says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh:
H3117
In the day
H977
when I chose
H3478
Israel,
H3027
and swore
H5375
to
H2233
the seed
H1004
of the house
H3290
of Jacob,
H3045
and made myself known
H776
to them in the land
H4714
of Egypt,
H3027
when I swore
H5375
to
H559
them, saying,
H3068
I am Yahweh
H430
your God;
6
H3117
in that day
H3027
I swore
H5375
to
H3318
them, to bring them forth
H776
out of the land
H4714
of Egypt
H776
into a land
H8446
that I had searched
H2100
out for them, flowing
H2461
with milk
H1706
and honey,
H6643
which is the glory
H776
of all lands.
7
H559
I said
H7993
to them, Cast away
H376
every man
H8251
the abominations
H5869
of his eyes,
H2930
and don't defile
H1544
yourselves with the idols
H4714
of Egypt;
H3068
I am Yahweh
H430
your God.
8
H4784
But they rebelled
H14
against me, and would
H8085
not listen
H376
to me; they each
H7993
didn't throw away
H8251
the abominations
H5869
of their eyes,
H5800
neither did they forsake
H1544
the idols
H4714
of Egypt.
H559
Then I said
H8210
I would pour out
H2534
my wrath
H3615
on them, to accomplish
H639
my anger
H8432
against them in the midst
H776
of the land
H4714
of Egypt.
9
H6213
But I worked
H8034
for my name's
H2490
sake, that it should not be profaned
H5869
in the sight
H1471
of the nations,
H8432
among
H5869
which they were, in whose sight
H3045
I made myself known
H3318
to them, in bringing them forth
H776
out of the land
H4714
of Egypt.
10
H3318
So I caused them to go forth
H776
out of the land
H4714
of Egypt,
H935
and brought
H4057
them into the wilderness.
11
H5414
I gave
H2708
them my statutes,
H3045
and showed
H4941
them my ordinances,
H120
which if a man
H6213
does,
H2425
he shall live in them.
12
H5414
Moreover also I gave
H7676
them my Sabbaths,
H226
to be a sign
H3045
between me and them, that they might know
H3068
that I am Yahweh
H6942
who sanctifies them.
13
H1004
But the house
H3478
of Israel
H4784
rebelled
H4057
against me in the wilderness:
H1980
they didn't walk
H2708
in my statutes,
H3988
and they rejected
H4941
my ordinances,
H120
which if a man
H6213
keep,
H2425
he shall live
H7676
in them; and my Sabbaths
H3966
they greatly
H2490
profaned.
H559
Then I said
H8210
I would pour out
H2534
my wrath
H4057
on them in the wilderness,
H3615
to consume them.
14
H6213
But I worked
H8034
for my name's
H2490
sake, that it should not be profaned
H5869
in the sight
H1471
of the nations,
H5869
in whose sight
H3318
I brought them out.
15
H3027
Moreover also I swore
H5375
to
H4057
them in the wilderness,
H935
that I would not bring
H776
them into the land
H5414
which I had given
H2100
them, flowing
H2461
with milk
H1706
and honey,
H6643
which is the glory
H776
of all lands;
16
H3988
because they rejected
H4941
my ordinances,
H1980
and didn't walk
H2708
in my statutes,
H2490
and profaned
H7676
my Sabbaths:
H3820
for their heart
H1980
went
H310
after
H1544
their idols.
17
H5869
Nevertheless my eye
H2347
spared
H7843
them, and I didn't destroy
H6213
them, neither did I make
H3617
a full end
H4057
of them in the wilderness.
18
H559
I said
H1121
to their children
H4057
in the wilderness,
H3212
Don't walk
H2706
in the statutes
H1
of your fathers,
H8104
neither observe
H4941
their ordinances,
H2930
nor defile
H1544
yourselves with their idols.
19
H3068
I am Yahweh
H430
your God:
H3212
walk
H2708
in my statutes,
H8104
and keep
H4941
my ordinances,
H6213
and do them;
20
H7676
and make my Sabbaths
H6942
holy;
H226
and they shall be a sign
H3045
between me and you, that you may know
H3068
that I am Yahweh
H430
your God.
21
H1121
But the children
H4784
rebelled
H1980
against me; they didn't walk
H2708
in my statutes,
H8104
neither kept
H4941
my ordinances
H6213
to do
H120
them, which if a man
H6213
do,
H2425
he shall live
H2490
in them; they profaned
H7676
my Sabbaths.
H559
Then I said
H8210
I would pour out
H2534
my wrath
H3615
on them, to accomplish
H639
my anger
H4057
against them in the wilderness.
22
H7725
Nevertheless I withdrew
H3027
my hand,
H6213
and worked
H8034
for my name's
H2490
sake, that it should not be profaned
H5869
in the sight
H1471
of the nations,
H5869
in whose sight
H3318
I brought them forth.
23
H3027
Moreover I swore
H5375
to
H4057
them in the wilderness,
H6327
that I would scatter
H1471
them among the nations,
H2219
and disperse
H776
them through the countries;
24
H6213
because they had not executed
H4941
my ordinances,
H3988
but had rejected
H2708
my statutes,
H2490
and had profaned
H7676
my Sabbaths,
H5869
and their eyes
H310
were after
H1
their fathers'
H1544
idols.
25
H5414
Moreover also I gave
H2706
them statutes
H2896
that were not good,
H4941
and ordinances
H2421
in which they should not live;
26
H2930
and I polluted
H4979
them in their own gifts,
H5674
in that they caused to pass through
H6363
the fire all that opens
H7356
the womb,
H8074
that I might make them desolate,
H3045
to the end that they might know
H3068
that I am Yahweh.
27
H1121
Therefore, son
H120
of man,
H1696
speak
H1004
to the house
H3478
of Israel,
H559
and tell
H559
them, Thus says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh:
H1
In this moreover have your fathers
H1442
blasphemed
H4603
me, in that they have committed
H4604
a trespass against me.
28
H935
For when I had brought
H776
them into the land,
H3027
which I swore
H5375
to
H5414
give
H7200
to them, then they saw
H7311
every high
H1389
hill,
H5687
and every thick
H6086
tree,
H2076
and they offered
H2077
there their sacrifices,
H5414
and there they presented
H3708
the provocation
H2076
of their offering;
H7760
there also they made
H5207
their pleasant
H7381
aroma,
H5258
and they poured out
H5262
there their drink offerings.
29
H559
Then I said
H1116
to them, What does the high place
H935
where you go
H8034
mean? So its name
H7121
is called
H1117
Bamah
H3117
to this day.
30
H559
Therefore tell
H1004
the house
H3478
of Israel,
H559
Thus says
H136
the Lord
H136
Yahweh:
H2930
Do you pollute
H1870
yourselves in the way
H1
of your fathers?
H2181
and do you play the prostitute
H310
after
H8251
their abominations?
31
H5375
and when you offer
H4979
your gifts,
H1121
when you make your sons
H5674
to pass through
H784
the fire,
H2930
do you pollute
H1544
yourselves with all your idols
H3117
to this day?
H1875
and shall I be inquired
H1004
of by you, house
H3478
of Israel?
H2416
As I live,
H5002
says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh,
H1875
I will not be inquired of by you;
32
H5927
and that which comes
H7307
into your mind
H559
shall not be at all, in that you say,
H1961
We will be
H1471
as the nations,
H4940
as the families
H776
of the countries,
H8334
to serve
H6086
wood
H68
and stone.
33
H2416
As I live,
H5002
says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh,
H2389
surely with a mighty
H3027
hand,
H5186
and with an outstretched
H2220
arm,
H2534
and with wrath
H5186
poured out,
H4427
will I be king over you:
34
H3318
and I will bring you out
H5971
from the peoples,
H6908
and will gather
H776
you out of the countries
H6327
in which you are scattered,
H2389
with a mighty
H3027
hand,
H5186
and with an outstretched
H2220
arm,
H2534
and with wrath
H8210
poured out;
35
H935
and I will bring
H4057
you into the wilderness
H5971
of the peoples,
H8199
and there will I enter into judgment
H6440
with you face
H6440
to face.
36
H8199
Like as I entered into judgment
H1
with your fathers
H4057
in the wilderness
H776
of the land
H4714
of Egypt,
H8199
so will I enter into judgment
H5002
with you, says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh.
37
H5674
I will cause you to pass
H7626
under the rod,
H935
and I will bring
H4562
you into the bond
H1285
of the covenant;
38
H1305
and I will purge out
H4775
from among you the rebels,
H6586
and those who disobey
H3318
against me; I will bring them forth
H776
out of the land
H4033
where they live,
H935
but they shall not enter
H127
into the land
H3478
of Israel:
H3045
and you shall know
H3068
that I am Yahweh.
39
H1004
As for you, house
H3478
of Israel,
H559
thus says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh:
H3212
Go,
H5647
serve
H376
everyone
H1544
his idols,
H310
and hereafter
H8085
also, if you will not listen
H6944
to me; but my holy
H8034
name
H2490
you shall no more profane
H4979
with your gifts,
H1544
and with your idols.
40
H6944
For in my holy
H2022
mountain,
H2022
in the mountain
H4791
of the height
H3478
of Israel,
H5002
says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh,
H1004
there shall all the house
H3478
of Israel,
H5647
all of them, serve
H776
me in the land:
H7521
there will I accept
H1875
them, and there will I require
H8641
your offerings,
H7225
and the first fruits
H4864
of your offerings,
H6944
with all your holy things.
41
H5207
As a pleasant
H7381
aroma
H7521
will I accept
H3318
you, when I bring you out
H5971
from the peoples,
H6908
and gather
H3318
you out
H776
of the countries
H6327
in which you have been scattered;
H6942
and I will be sanctified
H1471
in you in the sight of the nations.
42
H3045
You shall know
H3068
that I am Yahweh,
H935
when I shall bring
H127
you into the land
H3478
of Israel,
H776
into the country
H3027
which I swore
H5375
to
H5414
give
H1
to your fathers.
43
H2142
There you shall remember
H1870
your ways,
H5949
and all your doings,
H2930
in which you have polluted
H6962
yourselves; and you shall loathe
H6440
yourselves in your own sight
H7451
for all your evils
H6213
that you have committed.
44
H3045
You shall know
H3068
that I am Yahweh,
H6213
when I have dealt
H8034
with you for my name's
H7451
sake, not according to your evil
H1870
ways,
H7843
nor according to your corrupt
H5949
doings,
H1004
you house
H3478
of Israel,
H5002
says
H136
the Lord
H3069
Yahweh.
46
H1121
Son
H120
of man,
H7760
set
H6440
your face
H1870
toward
H8486
the south,
H5197
and drop
H1864
your word toward the south,
H5012
and prophesy
H3293
against the forest
H7704
of the field
H5045
in the South;
47
H559
and tell
H3293
the forest
H5045
of the South,
H8085
Hear
H1697
the word
H3068
of Yahweh:
H559
Thus says
H136
the Lord
H3068
Yahweh,
H3341
Behold, I will kindle
H784
a fire
H398
in you, and it shall devour
H3892
every green
H6086
tree
H3002
in you, and every dry
H6086
tree:
H3852
the flaming
H7957
flame
H3518
shall not be quenched,
H6440
and all faces
H5045
from the south
H6828
to the north
H6866
shall be burnt thereby.
