1: And it came to passH1961 in year,H8141 the seventhH7637 in the fifth [month]H2549 on the tenth [day]H6218 of the month,H2320 [that] cameH0935 certainH0582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 to inquireH1875 -H0853 of Yahweh,H3068 and satH3427 before me.H6440

2: And cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 to meH0413 saying,H0559

3: SonH1121 of man,H0120 speakH1696 -H0853 to the eldersH2205 of Israel,H3478 and sayH0559 to themH0413 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GODH3068 have to inquireH1875 of MeH0853 youH0859 comeH0935 live,H2416 [As] IH0589 notH0518 I will be inquiredH1875 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3068

4: Will you judgeH8199 themH0853 will you judge [them]H8199 sonH1121 of man,H0120 -H0853 the abominationsH8441 of their fathers-H0001 then make known to them.H3045

5: And SayH0559 to themH0413 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 On the day whenH3117 I choseH0977 Israel,H3478 and raised in an oathH5375 My handH3027 to the descendantsH2233 of the houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 and made Myself knownH3045 in the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 and I raised in an oathH5375 My handH3027 saying,H0559 I [am]H0589 YahwehH3068 your God-H0430

6: On dayH3117 thatH1931 I raised in an oathH5375 My handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 intoH0413 a landH0776 thatH0834 I had searched outH8446 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honey,H1706 the gloryH6643 isH1931 of allH3605 lands.H0776

7: And I saidH0559 to themH0413 each of youH0376 the abominationsH8251 which are before his eyes,H5869 throw awayH7993 and with the idolsH1544 of Egypt-H4714 notH0408 do defile yourselvesH2930 I [am]H0589 YahwehH3068 your God.H0430

8: But they rebelledH4784 and notH3808 wouldH0014 obeyH8085 MeH0413 allH0376 -H0853 the abominationsH8251 which were before their eyes,H5869 notH3808 they did cast awayH7993 andH0853 the idolsH1544 of Egypt.H4714 NorH3808 did they forsakeH5800 and I said,H0559 I will pour outH8210 My furyH2534 on themH5921 and fulfillH3615 My angerH0639 in the midstH8432 of the landH0776 of Egypt.H4714

9: But I actedH6213 for sakeH4616 of My nameH8034 that it should not beH1115 profanedH2490 beforeH5869 the Gentiles,H1471 whomH0834 they [were]H1992 among whomH8432 in whoseH0834 I had made Myself knownH3045 to themH0413 in whose sightH5869 to bring themH3318 out of the landH0776 of Egypt.H4714

10: And therefore I made them goH3318 out of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 and brought themH0935 intoH0413 the wilderness.H4057

11: And I gaveH5414 -H0853 My statutes,H2708 andH0853 My judgments,H4941 showedH3045 themH0853 which [if]H0834 doesH6213 -H0853 a manH0120 and he shall liveH2425

12: And Moreover alsoH1571 -H0853 My Sabbaths,H7676 I gaveH5414 to beH1961 a signH0226 between MeH0996 and themH0996 that they might knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 YahwehH3068 who sanctifies them.H6942

13: And yet rebelledH4784 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 in the wilderness.H4057 In My statutes,H2708 notH3808 they did walkH1980 andH0853 My judgments,H4941 they despisedH3988 which [if]H0834 doesH6213 -H0853 a manH0120 and he shall liveH2425 andH0853 My SabbathsH7676 they defiled.H2490 GreatlyH3966 and I said,H0559 I would pour outH8210 My furyH2534 on themH5921 in the wilderness,H4057 to consume them.H3615

14: But I actedH6213 for sakeH4616 of My nameH8034 that it should not beH1115 profanedH2490 beforeH5869 the Gentiles,H1471 in whoseH0834 I had brought them outH3318 in whose sight.H5869

15: So alsoH1571 IH0589 raised in an oathH5375 My handH3027 in the wilderness,H4057 that notH1115 I would bringH0935 themH0853 intoH0413 the landH0776 whichH0834 I had given [them]H5414 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honey,H1706 the gloryH6643 isH1931 of allH3605 lands-H0776

16: becauseH3282 My judgments,H4941 they despisedH3988 andH0853 in My statutes,H2708 notH3808 did walkH1980 butH0853 My Sabbaths,H7676 profanedH2490 forH3588 afterH0310 their idolsH1544 their heartH3820 went.H1980

17: And nevertheless sparedH2347 My eyeH5869 themH5921 from destructionH7843 and notH3808 I did makeH6213 of themH0853 an endH3617 in the wilderness.H4057

18: But I saidH0559 toH0413 their childrenH1121 in the wilderness,H4057 in the statutesH2706 of your fathers,H0001 notH0408 do walkH1980 andH0853 their judgments,H4941 norH0408 observeH8104 and with their idolsH1544 norH0408 defile yourselves.H2930

19: I [am]H0589 YahwehH3068 your God-H0430 in My statutes,H2708 WalkH1980 andH0853 My judgments,H4941 keepH8104 and doH6213 them.H0853

20: AndH0853 My Sabbaths-H7676 holyH6942 and they will beH1961 a signH0226 between MeH0996 and youH0996 that you may knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 YahwehH3068 your God.H0430

21: And Notwithstanding rebelledH4784 the sonsH1121 in My statutes,H2708 notH3808 they did walkH1980 andH0853 My judgmentsH4941 notH3808 were carefulH8104 to observeH6213 -H0853 which [if]H0834 doesH6213 -H0853 a manH0120 and he shall liveH2425 -H0853 My Sabbaths.H7676 But they profanedH2490 and I said,H0559 I would pour outH8210 My furyH2534 on themH5921 and fulfillH3615 My angerH0639 in the wilderness.H4057

22: And nevertheless I withdrewH7725 -H0853 My hand,H3027 and actedH6213 for sakeH4616 of My nameH8034 that it should not beH1115 profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the Gentiles,H1471 in whoseH0834 I had brought outH3318 themH0853 in whose sight.H5869

23: AlsoH1571 IH0589 raised in an oathH5375 -H0853 My handH3027 in the wilderness,H4057 that I would scatterH6327 themH0853 among the Gentiles,H1471 and disperseH2219 themH0853 throughout the countries-H0776

24: becauseH3282 My judgments,H4941 notH3808 they had executedH6213 but My statutes,H2708 had despisedH3988 andH0853 My Sabbaths,H7676 profanedH2490 and onH0310 idols.H1544 Their fathers'H0001 were fixedH1961 their eyes.H5869

25: And therefore alsoH1571 IH0589 gave upH5414 to statutesH2706 notH3808 [that] [were] good,H2896 and judgmentsH4941 notH3808 they could live-H2421

26: And I pronounced uncleanH2930 themH0853 because [of] their [ritual] gifts,H4979 in that they caused to pass through the [fire]H5674 allH3605 -H6363 their firstborn,H7356 thatH4616 I might make them desolate,H8074 to the end thatH4616 -H0834 and they might knowH3045 thatH0834 I [am]H0589 Yahweh.H3068

27: Therefore,H3651 speakH1696 toH0413 the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 sonH1121 of man,H0120 and sayH0559 to themH0413 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 tooH5750 [In] thisH2063 have blasphemedH1442 MeH0853 your fathersH0001 by being unfaithfulH4604 they have committed.H4603

28: And when I brought themH0935 intoH0413 the land,H0776 [concerning] whichH0834 I had raised in an oathH5375 -H0853 My handH3027 to giveH5414 -H0853 and they sawH7200 allH3605 the hills,H1389 highH7311 and allH3605 the trees,H6086 thickH5687 and they offeredH2076 thereH8033 -H0853 their sacrifices,H2077 andH5414 thereH8033 provoked MeH3708 with their offerings.H7133 And they sent upH7760 thereH8033 aroma,H7381 their sweetH5207 and poured outH5258 thereH8033 -H0853 their drink offerings.H5262

29: And I saidH0559 to themH0413 what [is]H4100 this high placeH1116 to whichH0834 youH0859 go?H0935 thereH8033 so is calledH7121 its nameH8034 BamahH1117 toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088

30: ThereforeH3651 sayH0559 toH0413 the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 Are in the mannerH1870 of your fathers?H0001 youH0859 defiling yourselvesH2930 and according toH0310 their abominations?H8251 you [are]H0859 committing harlotry.H2181

31: And for when you offerH5375 your gifts,H4979 and make passH5674 your sonsH1121 through the fire,H0784 youH0859 defile yourselvesH2930 with allH3605 your idols,H1544 even toH5704 this day.H3117 So IH0589 shall be inquiredH1875 houseH1004 of Israel?H3478 live,H2416 [As] IH0589 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 notH0518 I will be inquiredH1875

32: And what you haveH5927 inH5921 your mindH7307 be at all,H1961 neverH3808 shall be,H1961 whenH0834 youH0859 say,H0559 we will beH1961 like the Gentiles,H1471 like the families inH4940 [other] countries,H0776 servingH8334 woodH6086 and stone.H0068

33: Live,H2416 [As] IH0589 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 surelyH0518 notH3808 with a hand,H3027 mightyH2389 and with an arm,H2220 outstretchedH5186 and with furyH2534 poured out,H8210 I will ruleH4427 over you.H5921

34: And I will bring outH3318 youH0853 fromH4480 the peoples,H5971 and gatherH6908 youH0853 outH4480 of the countriesH0776 whereH0834 you are scattered,H6327 with a hand,H3027 mightyH2389 and with an arm,H2220 outstretchedH5186 and with furyH2534 poured out.H8210

35: And I will bringH0935 youH0853 intoH0413 the wildernessH4057 of the peoples,H5971 and I will plead My caseH8199 with youH0854 thereH8033 faceH6440 toH0413 face.H6440

36: Just asH0834 I pleaded My caseH8199 withH0854 your fathersH0001 in the wildernessH4057 of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 soH3651 I will plead My caseH8199 with youH0854 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069

37: And I will make passH5674 youH0853 underH8478 the rod,H7626 and I will bringH0935 youH0853 into the bondH4562 of the covenant-H1285

38: and I will purgeH1305 from among youH4480 the rebels,H4775 and those who transgressH6586 of the countryH0776 where they dwell,H4033 I will bring outH3318 themH0853 butH0413 the landH0127 of Israel.H3478 NotH3808 they shall enterH0935 then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 Yahweh.H3068

39: And as for you,H0859 houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 every one of youH0376 his idols,H1544 goH1980 serveH5647 and afterwardH0310 ifH0518 notH0369 you will obeyH8085 MeH0413 butH0853 nameH8034 My holyH6944 noH3808 profaneH2490 moreH5750 with your gifts,H4979 and your idols.H1544

40: ForH3588 on mountain,H2022 My holyH6944 on the mountainH2022 heightH4791 of Israel,H3478 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 thereH8033 shall serve MeH5647 allH3605 the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 all of themH3605 in the land,H0776 thereH8033 I will accept themH7521 and thereH8033 I will requireH1875 -H0853 your offerings,H8641 andH0853 the firstfruitsH7225 of your sacrifices,H4864 together with allH3605 your holy things.H6944

41: As aroma,H7381 a sweetH5207 I will acceptH7521 youH0853 when I bring outH3318 youH0853 fromH4480 the peoples,H5971 and gatherH6908 youH0853 outH4480 of the countriesH0776 whereH0834 you have been scattered-H6327 And I will show My holinessH6942 beforeH5869 the Gentiles.H1471

42: Then you shall knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 Yahweh,H3068 when I bringH0935 youH0853 intoH0413 the landH0127 of Israel,H3478 intoH0413 the countryH0776 [for] whichH0834 I raised in an oathH5375 -H0853 My handH3027 to giveH5414 -H0853 to your fathers.H0001

43: And you shall rememberH2142 thereH8033 -H0853 your ways,H1870 andH0853 allH3605 your doings,H5949 with whichH0834 you were defiled-H2930 and you shall loathe yourselvesH6962 in your own sightH6440 because of allH3605 the evilsH7451 thatH0834 you have committed.H6213

44: Then you shall knowH3045 thatH3588 I [am]H0589 Yahweh,H3068 when I have dealtH6213 with youH0854 for sakeH4616 of My nameH8034 notH3808 according to your ways,H1870 wickedH7451 and nor according to your doings,H5949 corruptH7843 houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069

45: And Furthermore cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 to meH0413 saying,H0559

46: SonH1121 of man,H0120 setH7760 your faceH6440 towardH1870 toward the south,H8486 and preachH5197 againstH0413 the south,H1864 and prophesyH5012 againstH0413 forestH3293 the land-H7704 the Negev.H5045

47: And sayH0559 to the forestH3293 of the Negev,H5045 HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Yahweh-H3068 thusH3541 saysH0559 the LordH0136 GOD-H3069 beholdH2005 I will kindleH3341 a fireH0784 and it shall devourH0398 everyH3605 treeH6086 greenH3892 and everyH3605 tree-H6086 dryH3002 notH3808 shall be quenched,H3518 the flameH3852 blazingH7957 and shall be scorchedH6866 allH3605 facesH6440 from the southH5045 to the north.H6828

48: And shall seeH7200 allH3605 fleshH1320 thatH3588 IH0589 YahwehH3068 have kindled itH1197 notH3808 it shall be quenched.H3518

49: And I saidH0559 AhH0162 LordH0136 GOD!H3069 theyH1992 sayH0559 Does notH3808 speakH4911 parables?H4912 he.H1931
