Ezekiel 20:1 (MKJV) Modern King James Version

1 And it happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to ask of Jehovah, and sat before me.
2 And came the Word of Jehovah to me, saying,
3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: Have you come to ask of Me? As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.
5 And say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I chose Israel, and lifted up My hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt; when I lifted up My hand to them, saying, I am Jehovah your God;
6 in the day that I lifted up My hand to them, to bring them out from the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
7 then I said to them, Let each man throw away the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.
8 But they rebelled against Me and would not listen to Me. They did not each man throw away the abominations of their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. And I said, I will pour out My fury against them to fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 But I worked for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned before the nations among whom they were, for I made Myself known to them in their eyes, by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
10 And I caused them to go out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
11 And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
12 And also I gave them My sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah who sets them apart.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes, and they despised My judgments, which if a man does, he shall even live in them. And they greatly profaned My sabbaths. And I said, I will pour out My fury on them in the wilderness to destroy them.
14 But I worked for My name's sake, so that it should not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I brought them out.
15 And also I lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey; it is the glory of all lands;
16 because they despised My judgments and walked not in My sabbaths; and they profaned My sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
17 But My eye spared them from destroying them, nor did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
18 But I said to their sons in the wilderness, Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
19 I am Jehovah your God. Walk in My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them,
20 and keep My sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am Jehovah your God.
21 But the sons rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes, nor kept My judgments to do them; the judgments which, if a man do, he shall even live in them; they profaned My sabbaths and I said I would pour out My fury on them, to fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness.
22 But I withdrew My hand and worked for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, from whom I brought them out in their eyes.
23 I also lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and scatter them through the lands,
24 because they had not done My judgments, but had despised My sabbaths and had profaned My sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
25 Also I gave them statutes not good, and judgments by which they should not live.
26 And I defiled them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that open the womb to pass through the fire, that I might waste them, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah.
27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed Me, in that they have committed a sin against Me.
28 When I had brought them into the land for which I lifted up My hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered their sacrifices there. And there they offered their provoking gifts. There also they made their sweet aroma, and poured out their drink offerings there.
29 And I said to them, What is the high place to which you go? And the name of it is called High Place to this day.
30 Therefore say to the house of Israel, So says the Lord Jehovah: Are you defiled in the same way as your fathers? And do you go whoring after their abominations?
31 For when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. And shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I Live, says the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
32 And what comes up on your spirit shall not happen at all, that you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
33 As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, I will reign over you.
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the lands in which you are scattered among them, 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 people, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Jehovah.
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 those who sin against Me. I will bring them out from the land where they reside, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.
39 And you, O house of Israel, so says the Lord Jehovah: Every man go and serve his idols, and do so from now on if you will not listen to Me. But never again defile My holy name with your gifts and with your idols.
40 For in My holy mountain, in the mountain height of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah, there all the house of Israel, all of those in the land, shall serve Me. There will I receive them, and there will I ask for your offerings and the firstfruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
41 I will receive you with your sweet aroma when I bring you out from the people and gather you out of the lands into which you have been scattered among them. And I will be sanctified in you in the eyes of the nations.
42 And you shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up My hand, to give it to your fathers.
43 And there you shall remember your ways and all your doings in which you have been defiled. And you shall despise yourselves in your own sight for all your evils which you have committed.
44 And you shall know that I am Jehovah when I have worked with you for My name's sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah.
45 And the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
46 Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop a word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.
47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the Word of Jehovah. So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall burn up every green tree in you, and every dry tree among you. The flaming flame shall not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned in it.
48 And all flesh shall see that I Jehovah have kindled it. It shall not be put out.
49 And I said, Ah Lord Jehovah! They say of me, Does he not speak parables?
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the seventh H7637 year H8141 , in the fifth H2549 month , the tenth H6218 day of the month H2320 LD-NMS , that certain H376 of the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 came H935 VQQ3MP to inquire H1875 L-VQFC of the LORD H3068 EDS , and sat H3427 W-VQY3MP before H6440 L-CMP-1MS me .
2 Then came H1961 W-VQY3MS the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS unto H413 PREP-3MS me , saying H559 W-VQY1MS ,
3 Son H1121 of man H120 NMS , speak H1696 VPFC unto the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , and say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; Are ye H859 PPRO-2MS come H935 to inquire H1875 of me ? As I H589 PPRO-1MS live H2416 AMS , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , I will not H518 PART be inquired H1875 of by you .
4 Wilt thou judge H8199 them , son H1121 of man H120 NMS , wilt thou judge H8199 them ? cause them to know H3045 the abominations H8441 of their fathers H1 CMP-3MP :
5 And say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; In the day H3117 B-NMS when I chose H977 Israel H3478 , and lifted up H5375 mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS unto the seed H2233 of the house H1004 CMS of Jacob H3290 , and made myself known H3045 unto them in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 , when I lifted up H5375 mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS unto them , saying H559 L-VQFC , I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 ;
6 In the day H3117 that I lifted up H5375 mine hand H3027 unto them , to bring them forth H3318 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 into H413 a land H776 that H834 I had espied H8446 for them , flowing H2100 with milk H2461 and honey H1706 , which H1931 is the glory H6643 of all H3605 lands H776 :
7 Then said H559 I unto H413 them , Cast ye away H7993 every man H376 the abominations H8251 of his eyes H5869 , and defile not yourselves H2930 with the idols H1544 of Egypt H4714 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 your God H430 .
8 But they rebelled H4784 against me , and would H14 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR hearken H8085 unto H413 PREP-1MS me : they did not H3808 W-NPAR every man H376 NMS cast away H7993 the abominations H8251 of their eyes H5869 , neither H3808 W-NPAR did they forsake H5800 the idols H1544 of Egypt H4714 EFS : then I said H559 W-VQY1MS , I will pour out H8210 my fury H2534 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them , to accomplish H3615 my anger H639 CMS-1MS against them in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 .
9 But I wrought H6213 for my name\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ , that it should not H1115 L-NPAR be polluted H2490 VHQ3MS before H5869 the heathen H1471 D-NMP , among H8432 whom H834 RPRO they H1992 PPRO-3MP were , in whose H834 RPRO sight H5869 I made myself known H3045 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , in bringing them forth H3318 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 .
10 Wherefore I caused them to go H3318 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 , and brought H935 them into H413 PREP the wilderness H4057 D-NMS .
11 And I gave H5414 them my statutes H2708 , and showed H3045 them my judgments H4941 , which H834 RPRO if a man H120 D-NMS do H6213 VQY3MS , he shall even live H2421 in them .
12 Moreover also H1571 W-CONJ I gave H5414 VQQ1MS them my sabbaths H7676 , to be H1961 a sign H226 L-CMS between H996 W-PREP-1MS me and them , that they might know H3045 L-VQFC that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS that sanctify H6942 them .
13 But the house H1004 of Israel H3478 rebelled H4784 against me in the wilderness H4057 : they walked H1980 not H3808 NADV in my statutes H2708 , and they despised H3988 my judgments H4941 , which H834 RPRO if a man H120 D-NMS do H6213 VQY3MS , he shall even live H2421 in them ; and my sabbaths H7676 they greatly H3966 ADV polluted H2490 : then I said H559 W-VQY1MS , I would pour out H8210 my fury H2534 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them in the wilderness H4057 , to consume H3615 them .
14 But I wrought H6213 for my name\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ , that it should not H1115 L-NPAR be polluted H2490 VHQ3MS before H5869 the heathen H1471 D-NMP , in whose H834 RPRO sight H5869 L-CMD-3MP I brought them out H3318 .
15 Yet also H1571 W-CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS lifted up H5375 VQQ1MS my hand H3027 CFS-1MS unto them in the wilderness H4057 , that I would not H1115 L-NPAR bring H935 them into H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO I had given H5414 VQQ1MS them , flowing H2100 with milk H2461 NMS and honey H1706 , which H1931 PPRO-3FS is the glory H6643 of all H3605 L-CMS lands H776 ;
16 Because H3282 ADV they despised H3988 my judgments H4941 , and walked H1980 VQQ3MP not H3808 NADV in my statutes H2708 , but polluted H2490 my sabbaths H7676 : for H3588 CONJ their heart H3820 CMS-3MP went H1980 VQPMS after H310 PREP their idols H1544 .
17 Nevertheless mine eye H5869 CMS-1MS spared H2347 them from destroying H7843 them , neither H3808 W-NPAR did I make H6213 VQQ1MS an end H3617 of them in the wilderness H4057 .
18 But I said H559 W-VQY1MS unto H413 PREP their children H1121 in the wilderness H4057 , Walk H1980 ye not H408 NPAR in the statutes H2706 of your fathers H1 , neither H408 NPAR observe H8104 their judgments H4941 , nor H408 NPAR defile yourselves H2930 with their idols H1544 :
19 I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 ; walk H1980 in my statutes H2708 , and keep H8104 my judgments H4941 , and do H6213 them ;
20 And hallow H6942 my sabbaths H7676 ; and they shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS a sign H226 L-CMS between H996 W-PREP-1MS me and you , that ye may know H3045 L-VQFC that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 .
21 Notwithstanding the children H1121 rebelled H4784 against me : they walked H1980 not H3808 ADV in my statutes H2708 , neither H3808 NADV kept H8104 my judgments H4941 to do H6213 L-VQFC them , which H834 RPRO if a man H120 D-NMS do H6213 VQY3MS , he shall even live H2421 in them ; they polluted H2490 my sabbaths H7676 : then I said H559 W-VQY1MS , I would pour out H8210 my fury H2534 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them , to accomplish H3615 my anger H639 CMS-1MS against them in the wilderness H4057 .
22 Nevertheless I withdrew H7725 mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS , and wrought H6213 for my name\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ , that it should not H1115 L-NPAR be polluted H2490 VHQ3MS in the sight H5869 of the heathen H1471 D-NMP , in whose H834 RPRO sight H5869 L-CMD-3MP I brought them forth .
23 I H589 PPRO-1MS lifted up H5375 VQQ1MS mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS unto them also H1571 CONJ in the wilderness H4057 , that I would scatter H6327 them among the heathen H1471 , and disperse H2219 them through the countries H776 ;
24 Because H3282 ADV they had not H3808 ADV executed H6213 VQQ3MP my judgments H4941 , but had despised H3988 my statutes H2708 , and had polluted H2490 my sabbaths H7676 , and their eyes H5869 were H1961 VQQ3MP after H310 their fathers H1 CMP-3MP \' idols H1544 .
25 Wherefore I H589 PPRO-1MS gave H5414 VQQ1MS them also H1571 W-CONJ statutes H2706 that were not H3808 NADV good H2896 , and judgments H4941 whereby they should not H3808 NADV live H2421 ;
26 And I polluted H2930 them in their own gifts H4979 , in that they caused to pass through H5674 the fire all H3605 NMS that openeth H6363 the womb H7356 , that H4616 L-CONJ I might make them desolate H8074 , to the end H4616 L-CONJ that H834 RPRO they might know H3045 that H834 RPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
27 Therefore H3651 L-ADV , son H1121 of man H120 NMS , speak H1696 VPFC unto H413 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , and say H559 unto H413 PREP them , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; Yet H5750 ADV in this H2063 DPRO your fathers H1 have blasphemed H1442 me , in that they have committed H4603 a trespass H4604 against me .
28 For when I had brought H935 them into H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS , for the which H834 RPRO I lifted up H5375 VQQ1MS mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS to give H5414 L-VQFC it to them , then they saw H7200 W-VQY3MP every H3605 CMS high H7311 VQPFS hill H1389 , and all H3605 W-CMS the thick H5687 trees H6086 NMS , and they offered H2076 there H8033 ADV their sacrifices H2077 , and there H8033 ADV they presented H5414 W-VQY3MP the provocation H3708 of their offering H7133 : there H8033 ADV also they made H7760 W-VQY3MP their sweet H5207 savor H7381 CMS , and poured out H5258 there H8033 ADV their drink offerings H5262 .
29 Then I said H559 W-VQY1MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , What H4100 IGAT is the high place H1116 whereunto H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS go H935 ? And the name H8034 CMS-3FS thereof is called H7121 Bamah H1117 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
30 Wherefore H3651 L-ADV say H559 unto H413 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; Are ye H859 PPRO-2MS polluted H2930 after the manner H1870 of your fathers H1 ? and commit ye whoredom H2181 after H310 their abominations H8251 ?
31 For when ye offer H5375 your gifts H4979 , when ye make your sons H1121 to pass H5674 through the fire H784 , ye H859 PPRO-2MS pollute yourselves H2930 with all H3605 L-CMS your idols H1544 , even unto H5704 PREP this day H3117 D-AMS : and shall I H589 W-PPRO-1MS be inquired of H1875 by you , O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 ? As I H589 W-PPRO-1MS live H2416 AMS , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , I will not H518 PART be inquired of H1875 by you .
32 And that which cometh H5927 into H5921 PREP your mind H7307 shall not H3808 NADV be at all H1961 , that H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS say H559 , We will be H1961 as the heathen H1471 , as the families H4940 of the countries H776 , to serve H8334 wood H6086 NMS and stone H68 .
33 As I H589 PPRO-1MS live H2416 AMS , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , surely H518 PART with a mighty H2389 hand H3027 , and with a stretched out H5186 arm H2220 , and with fury H2534 poured out H8210 , will I rule H4427 over H5921 PREP-2MP you :
34 And I will bring you out H3318 from H4480 PREP the people H5971 , and will gather H6908 you out of H4480 PREP the countries H776 wherein H834 RPRO ye are scattered H6327 , with a mighty H2389 hand H3027 , and with a stretched out H5186 arm H2220 , and with fury H2534 poured out H8210 .
35 And I will bring H935 you into H413 PREP the wilderness H4057 of the people H5971 , and there H8033 ADV will I plead H8199 with H854 PART-2MP you face H6440 NMP to H413 PREP face H6440 .
36 Like as H834 K-RPRO I pleaded H8199 with H854 PREP your fathers H1 in the wilderness H4057 of the land H776 GFS of Egypt H4714 , so H3651 ADV will I plead H8199 with H854 PART-2MP you , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 .
37 And I will cause you to pass H5674 under H8478 NMS the rod H7626 , and I will bring H935 you into the bond H4562 of the covenant H1285 :
38 And I will purge out H1305 from H4480 M-PPRO-2MS among you the rebels H4775 , and them that transgress H6586 against me : I will bring them forth out of the country H776 M-NFS where they sojourn H4033 , and they shall not H3808 NADV enter H935 VQY3MS into H413 W-PREP the land H127 of Israel H3478 : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
39 As for you H859 W-PPRO-2MP , O house H1004 of Israel H3478 , thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; Go H1980 VQI2MP ye , serve H5647 ye every one H376 NMS his idols H1544 , and hereafter H310 W-ADV also , if H518 PART ye will not H369 hearken H8085 unto H413 me : but pollute H2490 ye my holy H6944 name H8034 CMS no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV with your gifts H4979 , and with your idols H1544 .
40 For H3588 CONJ in mine holy H6944 mountain H2022 , in the mountain H2022 of the height H4791 of Israel H3478 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , there H8033 ADV shall all H3605 NMS the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , all H3605 NMS of them in the land H776 B-NFS , serve H5647 me : there H8033 ADV will I accept H7521 them , and there H8033 W-ADV will I require H1875 your offerings H8641 , and the firstfruits H7225 CFS of your oblations H4864 , with all H3605 NMS your holy things H6944 .
41 I will accept H7521 you with your sweet H5207 savor H7381 , when I bring you out H3318 from H4480 PREP the people H5971 , and gather H6908 you out of H4480 PREP the countries H776 wherein H834 RPRO ye have been scattered H6327 ; and I will be sanctified H6942 in you before H5869 the heathen H1471 .
42 And ye shall know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS , when I shall bring H935 you into H413 PREP the land H127 of Israel H3478 , into H413 PREP the country H776 D-GFS for the which H834 RPRO I lifted up H5375 VQQ1MS mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS to give H5414 L-VQFC it to your fathers H1 .
43 And there H8033 ADV shall ye remember H2142 your ways H1870 , and all H3605 NMS your doings H5949 , wherein H834 RPRO ye have been defiled H2930 ; and ye shall loathe yourselves H6962 in your own sight H6440 for all H3605 NMS your evils H7451 that H834 RPRO ye have committed H6213 .
44 And ye shall know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS , when I have wrought H6213 with H854 PART-2MP you for my name\'s sake H4616 L-CONJ , not H3808 NADV according to your wicked H7451 ways H1870 , nor according to your corrupt H7843 doings H5949 , O ye house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 .
45 Moreover the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
46 Son H1121 of man H120 NMS , set H7760 VQFC thy face H6440 CMP-2MS toward H1870 NMS the south H8486 , and drop H5197 thy word toward H413 PREP the south H1864 , and prophesy H5012 against H413 PREP the forest H3293 of the south H5045 field H7704 D-NMS ;
