Ezekiel 20

1

And it came to pass in the seventhh7637 yearh8141, in the fifthh2549 month , the tenthh6218 day of the monthh2320, that certainh582 of the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478 cameh935h8804 to enquireh1875h8800 of the LORDh3068, and sath3427h8799 beforeh6440 me.

2

Then came the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 unto me, sayingh559h8800,

3

Sonh1121 of manh120, speakh1696h8761 unto the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478, and sayh559h8804 unto them, Thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Are ye comeh935h8802 to enquireh1875h8800 of me? As I liveh2416, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069, I will not be enquiredh1875h8735 of by you.

4

Wilt thou judgeh8199h8799 them, sonh1121 of manh120, wilt thou judgeh8199h8799 them ? cause them to knowh3045h8685 the abominationsh8441 of their fathersh1: Wilt...: or, Wilt thou plead for them

5

And sayh559h8804 unto them, Thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; In the dayh3117 when I choseh977h8800 Israelh3478, and lifted uph5375h8799 mine handh3027 unto the seedh2233 of the househ1004 of Jacobh3290, and made myself knownh3045h8735 unto them in the landh776 of Egypth4714, when I liftedh5375h8799 up mine handh3027 unto them, sayingh559h8800, I am the LORDh3068 your Godh430; lifted...: or, sware

6

In the dayh3117 that I lifted uph5375h8804 mine handh3027 unto them, to bring them forthh3318h8687 of the landh776 of Egypth4714 into a landh776 that I had espiedh8446h8804 for them, flowingh2100h8802 with milkh2461 and honeyh1706, which is the gloryh6643 of all landsh776:

7

Then saidh559h8799 I unto them, Cast ye awayh7993h8685 every manh376 the abominationsh8251 of his eyesh5869, and defileh2930h8691 not yourselves with the idolsh1544 of Egypth4714: I am the LORDh3068 your Godh430.

8

But they rebelledh4784h8686 against me, and wouldh14h8804 not hearkenh8085h8800 unto me: they did not every manh376 cast awayh7993h8689 the abominationsh8251 of their eyesh5869, neither did they forsakeh5800h8804 the idolsh1544 of Egypth4714: then I saidh559h8799, I will pour outh8210h8800 my furyh2534 upon them, to accomplishh3615h8763 my angerh639 against them in the midsth8432 of the landh776 of Egypth4714.

9

But I wroughth6213h8799 for my name'sh8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedh2490h8736 beforeh5869 the heathenh1471, amongh8432 whom they were , in whose sighth5869 I made myself knownh3045h8738 unto them, in bringing them forthh3318h8687 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714.

10

Wherefore I caused them to go forthh3318h8686 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714, and broughth935h8686 them into the wildernessh4057.

11

And I gaveh5414h8799 them my statutesh2708, and shewedh3045h8689 them my judgmentsh4941, which if a manh120 doh6213h8799, he shall even liveh2425h8804 in them. shewed...: Heb. made them to know

12

Moreover also I gaveh5414h8804 them my sabbathsh7676, to be a signh226 between me and them, that they might knowh3045h8800 that I am the LORDh3068 that sanctifyh6942h8764 them.

13

But the househ1004 of Israelh3478 rebelledh4784h8686 against me in the wildernessh4057: they walkedh1980h8804 not in my statutesh2708, and they despisedh3988h8804 my judgmentsh4941, which if a manh120 doh6213h8799, he shall even liveh2425h8804 in them; and my sabbathsh7676 they greatlyh3966 pollutedh2490h8765: then I saidh559h8799, I would pour outh8210h8800 my furyh2534 upon them in the wildernessh4057, to consumeh3615h8763 them.

14

But I wroughth6213h8799 for my name'sh8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedh2490h8736 beforeh5869 the heathenh1471, in whose sighth5869 I brought them outh3318h8689.

15

Yet also I lifted uph5375h8804 my handh3027 unto them in the wildernessh4057, that I would not bringh935h8687 them into the landh776 which I had givenh5414h8804 them , flowingh2100h8802 with milkh2461 and honeyh1706, which is the gloryh6643 of all landsh776;

16

Because they despisedh3988h8804 my judgmentsh4941, and walkedh1980h8804 not in my statutesh2708, but pollutedh2490h8765 my sabbathsh7676: for their hearth3820 wenth1980h8802 afterh310 their idolsh1544.

17

Nevertheless mine eyeh5869 sparedh2347h8799 them from destroyingh7843h8763 them, neither did I makeh6213h8804 an endh3617 of them in the wildernessh4057.

18

But I saidh559h8799 unto their childrenh1121 in the wildernessh4057, Walkh3212h8799 ye not in the statutesh2706 of your fathersh1, neither observeh8104h8799 their judgmentsh4941, nor defileh2930h8691 yourselves with their idolsh1544:

19

I am the LORDh3068 your Godh430; walkh3212h8798 in my statutesh2708, and keeph8104h8798 my judgmentsh4941, and doh6213h8798 them;

20

And hallowh6942h8761 my sabbathsh7676; and they shall be a signh226 between me and you, that ye may knowh3045h8800 that I am the LORDh3068 your Godh430.

21

Notwithstanding the childrenh1121 rebelledh4784h8686 against me: they walkedh1980h8804 not in my statutesh2708, neither kepth8104h8804 my judgmentsh4941 to doh6213h8800 them, which if a manh120 doh6213h8799, he shall even liveh2425h8804 in them; they pollutedh2490h8765 my sabbathsh7676: then I saidh559h8799, I would pour outh8210h8800 my furyh2534 upon them, to accomplishh3615h8763 my angerh639 against them in the wildernessh4057.

22

Nevertheless I withdrewh7725h8689 mine handh3027, and wroughth6213h8799 for my name'sh8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedh2490h8736 in the sighth5869 of the heathenh1471, in whose sighth5869 I brought them forthh3318h8689.

23

I lifted uph5375h8804 mine handh3027 unto them also in the wildernessh4057, that I would scatterh6327h8687 them among the heathenh1471, and disperseh2219h8763 them through the countriesh776;

24

Because they had not executedh6213h8804 my judgmentsh4941, but had despisedh3988h8804 my statutesh2708, and had pollutedh2490h8765 my sabbathsh7676, and their eyesh5869 were afterh310 their fathersh1' idolsh1544.

25

Wherefore I gaveh5414h8804 them also statutesh2706 that were not goodh2896, and judgmentsh4941 whereby they should not liveh2421h8799;

26

And I pollutedh2930h8762 them in their own giftsh4979, in that they caused to pass throughh5674h8687 the fire all that openethh6363 the wombh7356, that I might make them desolateh8074h8686, to the end that they might knowh3045h8799 that I am the LORDh3068.

27

Therefore, sonh1121 of manh120, speakh1696h8761 unto the househ1004 of Israelh3478, and sayh559h8804 unto them, Thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Yet in this your fathersh1 have blasphemedh1442h8765 me, in that they have committedh4603h8800 a trespassh4604 against me. committed...: Heb. trespassed a trespass

28

For when I had broughth935h8686 them into the landh776, for the which I lifted uph5375h8804 mine handh3027 to giveh5414h8800 it to them, then they sawh7200h8799 every highh7311h8802 hillh1389, and all the thickh5687 treesh6086, and they offeredh2076h8799 there their sacrificesh2077, and there they presentedh5414h8799 the provocationh3708 of their offeringh7133: there also they madeh7760h8799 their sweeth5207 savourh7381, and poured outh5258h8686 there their drink offeringsh5262.

29

Then I saidh559h8799 unto them, What is the high placeh1116 whereunto ye goh935h8802? And the nameh8034 thereof is calledh7121h8735 Bamahh1117 unto this dayh3117. I said...: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah

30

Wherefore sayh559h8798 unto the househ1004 of Israelh3478, Thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Are ye pollutedh2930h8737 after the mannerh1870 of your fathersh1? and commit ye whoredomh2181h8802 afterh310 their abominationsh8251?

31

For when ye offerh5375h8800 your giftsh4979, when ye make your sonsh1121 to pass throughh5674h8687 the fireh784, ye polluteh2930h8737 yourselves with all your idolsh1544, even unto this dayh3117: and shall I be enquiredh1875h8735 of by you, O househ1004 of Israelh3478? As I liveh2416, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069, I will not be enquiredh1875h8735 of by you.

32

And that which comethh5927h8802 into your mindh7307 shall not be at all, that ye sayh559h8802, We will beh1961h8799 as the heathenh1471, as the familiesh4940 of the countriesh776, to serveh8334h8763 woodh6086 and stoneh68.

33

As I liveh2416, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069, surely with a mightyh2389 handh3027, and with a stretched outh5186h8803 armh2220, and with furyh2534 poured outh8210h8803, will I ruleh4427h8799 over you:

34

And I will bring you outh3318h8689 from the peopleh5971, and will gatherh6908h8765 you out of the countriesh776 wherein ye are scatteredh6327h8738, with a mightyh2389 handh3027, and with a stretched outh5186h8803 armh2220, and with furyh2534 poured outh8210h8803.

35

And I will bringh935h8689 you into the wildernessh4057 of the peopleh5971, and there will I pleadh8199h8738 with you faceh6440 to faceh6440.

36

Like as I pleadedh8199h8738 with your fathersh1 in the wildernessh4057 of the landh776 of Egypth4714, so will I pleadh8199h8735 with you, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069.

37

And I will cause you to passh5674h8689 under the rodh7626, and I will bringh935h8689 you into the bondh4562 of the covenanth1285: bond: or, delivering

38

And I will purge outh1305h8804 from among you the rebelsh4775h8802, and them that transgressh6586h8802 against me: I will bring them forthh3318h8686 out of the countryh776 where they sojournh4033, and they shall not enterh935h8799 into the landh127 of Israelh3478: and ye shall knowh3045h8804 that I am the LORDh3068.

39

As for you, O househ1004 of Israelh3478, thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Goh3212h8798 ye, serveh5647h8798 ye every oneh376 his idolsh1544, and hereafterh310 also , if ye will not hearkenh8085h8802 unto me: but polluteh2490h8762 ye my holyh6944 nameh8034 no more with your giftsh4979, and with your idolsh1544.

40

For in mine holyh6944 mountainh2022, in the mountainh2022 of the heighth4791 of Israelh3478, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069, there shall all the househ1004 of Israelh3478, all of them in the landh776, serveh5647h8799 me: there will I accepth7521h8799 them, and there will I requireh1875h8799 your offeringsh8641, and the firstfruitsh7225 of your oblationsh4864, with all your holy thingsh6944. firstfruits: or, chief

41

I will accepth7521h8799 you with your sweeth5207 savourh7381, when I bring you outh3318h8687 from the peopleh5971, and gatherh6908h8765 you out of the countriesh776 wherein ye have been scatteredh6327h8738; and I will be sanctifiedh6942h8738 in you beforeh5869 the heathenh1471. sweet...: Heb. savour of rest

42

And ye shall knowh3045h8804 that I am the LORDh3068, when I shall bringh935h8687 you into the landh127 of Israelh3478, into the countryh776 for the which I lifted uph5375h8804 mine handh3027 to giveh5414h8800 it to your fathersh1.

43

And there shall ye rememberh2142h8804 your waysh1870, and all your doingsh5949, wherein ye have been defiledh2930h8738; and ye shall lotheh6962h8738 yourselves in your own sighth6440 for all your evilsh7451 that ye have committedh6213h8804.

44

And ye shall knowh3045h8804 that I am the LORDh3068, when I have wroughth6213h8800 with you for my name'sh8034 sake, not according to your wickedh7451 waysh1870, nor according to your corrupth7843h8737 doingsh5949, O ye househ1004 of Israelh3478, saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069.

45

Moreover the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 came unto me, sayingh559h8800,

46

Sonh1121 of manh120, seth7760h8798 thy faceh6440 towardh1870 the southh8486, and droph5197h8685 thy word toward the southh1864, and prophesyh5012h8734 against the foresth3293 of the southh5045 fieldh7704;

47

And sayh559h8804 to the foresth3293 of the southh5045, Hearh8085h8798 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068; Thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Behold, I will kindleh3341h8688 a fireh784 in thee, and it shall devourh398h8804 every greenh3892 treeh6086 in thee, and every dryh3002 treeh6086: the flamingh3852 flameh7957 shall not be quenchedh3518h8799, and all facesh6440 from the southh5045 to the northh6828 shall be burnedh6866h8738 therein.

48

And all fleshh1320 shall seeh7200h8804 that I the LORDh3068 have kindledh1197h8765 it: it shall not be quenchedh3518h8799.

49

Then saidh559h8799 I, Ahh162 Lordh136 GODh3069! they sayh559h8802 of me, Doth he not speakh4911h8764 parablesh4912?
