1
Now in the seventh
year,
in the fifth
month, on the tenth
of the month,
certain
of the elders
of Israel
came
to inquire
of the LORD,
and sat
before
me.
2
And the word
of the LORD
came
to me saying,
3
"Son
of man,
speak
to the elders
of Israel
and say
to them, 'Thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"Do you come
to inquire
of Me? As I live,"
declares
the Lord
GOD,
"I will not be inquired
of by you."'
4
"Will you judge
them, will you judge
them, son
of man?
Make them know
the abominations
of their fathers;
5
and say
to them, 'Thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"On the day
when I chose
Israel
and swore
to the descendants
of the house
of Jacob
and made Myself known
to them in the land
of Egypt,
when I swore
to them, saying,
I am the LORD
your God,
6
on that day
I swore
to them, to bring
them out from the land
of Egypt
into a land
that I had selected
for them, flowing
with milk
and honey,
which
is the glory
of all
lands.
7
"I said
to them, 'Cast away,
each
of you, the detestable things
of his eyes,
and do not defile
yourselves with the idols
of Egypt;
I am the LORD
your God.'
8
"But they rebelled
against Me and were not willing
to listen
to Me; they did not cast away
the detestable things
of their eyes,
nor
did they forsake
the idols
of Egypt.
Then I resolved
to pour
out My wrath
on them, to accomplish
My anger
against them in the midst
of the land
of Egypt.
9
"But I acted
for the sake
of My name,
that it should not be profaned
in the
sight
of the nations
among
whom
they lived, in whose
sight
I made Myself known
to them by bringing
them out of the land
of Egypt.
10
"So I took
them out of the land
of Egypt
and brought
them into the wilderness.
11
"I gave
them My statutes
and informed
them of My ordinances,
by which,
if a man
observes
them, he will live.
12
"Also
I gave
them My sabbaths
to be a sign
between
Me and them, that they might know
that I am the LORD
who sanctifies
them.
13
"But the house
of Israel
rebelled
against Me in the wilderness.
They did not walk
in My statutes
and they rejected
My ordinances,
by which,
if a man
observes
them, he will live;
and My sabbaths
they greatly
profaned.
Then I resolved
to pour
out My wrath
on them in the wilderness,
to annihilate
them.
14
"But I acted
for the sake
of My name,
that it should not be profaned
in the
sight
of the nations,
before whose
sight
I had brought
them out.
15
"Also
I swore
to them in the wilderness
that I would not bring
them into the land
which
I had given
them, flowing
with milk
and honey,
which
is the glory
of all
lands,
16
because
they rejected
My ordinances,
and as for My statutes,
they did not walk
in them; they even profaned
My sabbaths,
for their heart
continually went
after
their idols.
17
"Yet My eye
spared
them rather than
destroying
them, and I did not cause
their annihilation
in the wilderness.
18
"I said
to their children
in the wilderness,
'
Do not walk
in the statutes
of your fathers
or keep
their ordinances
or defile
yourselves with their idols.
19
'
I am the LORD
your God;
walk
in My statutes
and keep
My ordinances
and observe
them.
20
'
Sanctify
My sabbaths;
and they shall be a sign
between
Me and you, that you may know
that I am the LORD
your God.'
21
"But the children
rebelled
against Me; they did not walk
in My statutes,
nor
were they careful
to observe
My ordinances,
by which,
if a man
observes
them, he will live;
they profaned
My sabbaths.
So I resolved
to pour
out My wrath
on them, to accomplish
My anger
against them in the wilderness.
22
"But I withdrew
My hand
and acted
for the sake
of My name,
that it should not be profaned
in the
sight
of the nations
in whose
sight
I had brought
them out.
23
"Also
I swore
to them in the wilderness
that I would scatter
them among the nations
and disperse
them among the lands,
24
because
they had not observed
My ordinances,
but had rejected
My statutes
and had profaned
My sabbaths,
and their eyes
were on the idols
of their fathers.
25
"I also
gave
them statutes
that were not good
and ordinances
by which they could not live;
26
and I pronounced them unclean
because of their gifts,
in that they caused all
their firstborn
to pass through
the fire so
that I might make them desolate,
in order
that they might know
that I am the LORD."'
27
"Therefore,
son
of man,
speak
to the house
of Israel
and say
to them, 'Thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"Yet
in this
your fathers
have blasphemed
Me by acting treacherously
against Me.
28
"When I had brought
them into the land
which
I swore
to give
to them, then they saw
every
high
hill
and
every
leafy
tree,
and they offered
there
their sacrifices
and
there
they presented
the provocation
of their offering.
There
also they made
their soothing
aroma
and
there
they poured
out their drink offerings.
29
"Then I said
to them, 'What
is the high place
to which
you go?'
So its name
is called
Bamah
to this
day."'
30
"Therefore,
say
to the house
of Israel,
'Thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"Will you defile
yourselves
after
the manner
of your fathers
and play the harlot
after
their detestable things?
31
"When you offer
your gifts,
when you cause your sons
to pass
through the fire,
you are defiling
yourselves with all
your idols
to this day.
And shall I be inquired
of by you, O house
of Israel?
As I live,"
declares
the Lord
GOD,
"I will not be inquired
of by you.
32
"What comes
into your mind
will not come
about, when
you say:
'We will be like the nations,
like the tribes
of the lands,
serving
wood
and stone.'
33
"As I live,"
declares
the Lord
GOD,
"surely
with a mighty
hand
and with an outstretched
arm
and with wrath
poured
out, I shall be king
over
you.
34
"I will bring
you out from the peoples
and gather
you from the lands
where
you are scattered,
with a mighty
hand
and with an outstretched
arm
and with wrath
poured
out;
35
and I will bring
you into the wilderness
of the peoples,
and there
I will enter into judgment
with you face
to face.
36
"As I entered
into judgment
with your fathers
in the wilderness
of the land
of Egypt,
so
I will enter
into judgment
with you," declares
the Lord
GOD.
37
"I will make you pass
under
the rod,
and I will bring
you into the bond
of the covenant;
38
and I will purge
from you the rebels
and those who transgress
against Me; I will bring
them out of
the land
where they sojourn,
but they will not enter
the land
of Israel.
Thus you will know
that I am the LORD.
39
"As for you, O house
of Israel,"
thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"Go,
serve
everyone
his idols;
but later
you will surely
listen
to Me, and My holy
name
you will profane
no
longer
with your gifts
and with your idols.
40
"For on My holy
mountain
,
on the high
mountain
of Israel,
"
declares
the Lord
GOD,
"
there
the whole
house
of Israel,
all
of them, will serve
Me in the land;
there
I will accept
them and
there
I will seek
your contributions
and the choicest
of your gifts,
with
all
your holy things.
41
"As a soothing
aroma
I will accept
you when I bring
you out from the peoples
and gather
you from the lands
where
you are scattered;
and I will prove Myself holy
among you in the sight
of the nations.
42
"And you will know
that I am the LORD,
when I bring
you
into the land
of Israel,
into the land
which
I swore
to give
to your forefathers.
43
"There
you will remember
your ways
and all
your deeds
with which
you have defiled
yourselves; and you will loathe
yourselves in your own sight
for all
the evil things
that you have done.
44
"Then you will know
that I am the LORD
when I have dealt
with you for My name's
sake,
not according to your evil
ways
or according to your corrupt
deeds,
O house
of Israel,"
declares
the Lord
GOD.'"
45
Now the word
of the LORD
came
to me, saying,
46
"Son
of man,
set
your face
toward
Teman,
and speak
out
against
the south
and prophesy
against
the forest
land
of the Negev,
47
and say
to the forest
of the Negev,
'Hear
the word
of the LORD:
thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"Behold,
I am about to kindle
a fire
in you, and it will consume
every
green
tree
in you, as well as
every
dry
tree
;
the blazing flame
will not be quenched
and the whole
surface
from south
to north
will be burned
by it.
48
"All
flesh
will see
that I, the LORD,
have kindled
it; it shall not be quenched."'"
49
Then I said,
"Ah
Lord
GOD!
They are saying
of me, 'Is he not just speaking
parables?'"
