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 ;
47 And say H559 to the forest H3293 of the south H5045 D-NMS , Hear H8085 VQI2MS the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS ; Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will kindle H3341 a fire H784 CMS in thee , and it shall devour H398 every H3605 NMS green H3892 tree H6086 NMS in thee , and every H3605 NMS dry H3002 AMS tree H6086 NMS : the flaming H3852 flame H7957 shall not H3808 ADV be quenched H3518 , and all H3605 NMS faces H6440 NMP from the south H5045 D-NMS to the north H6828 shall be burned H6866 therein .
48 And all H3605 NMS flesh H1320 NMS shall see H7200 that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS the LORD H3068 EDS have kindled H1197 it : it shall not H3808 NADV be quenched H3518 .
49 Then said H559 W-VQY1MS I , Ah H162 Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ! they H1992 PPRO-3MP say H559 of me , Doth he H1931 PPRO-3MS not H3808 I-NADV speak H4911 parables H4912 ?
