Young's Literal Translation
And it came
to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day
of the month, that
certain of the elders of Israel came
to enquire
of
the
LORD
, and sat
before me .
And it cometh
to pass ,
in the seventh year, in the fifth `
month '
, in
the tenth of the month, come
in
have
certain of the elders of Israel to seek
Jehovah
, and they
sit
before me ;
Then
came
the
word of the
LORD
unto me, saying,
and
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
Son of man, speak unto
the elders of Israel, and say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Are
ye
come
to enquire
of
me? As
I live ,
saith
the
Lord
GOD,
I will
not be
enquired
of
by you.
`
Son of man, speak with
the elders of Israel, and thou
hast
said
unto them, Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
To seek
Me are
ye
coming
in
? I live --
I am
not sought
by you --
an
affirmation
of
the
Lord
Jehovah
.
Wilt
thou judge them, son of man ,
wilt
thou
judge
them
? cause
them
to
know
the abominations of their fathers :
Dost
thou judge them ?
Dost
thou
judge
, son of man? The abominations of their fathers cause
them
to
know,
And say
unto them ,
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
In the day when
I
chose
Israel, and
lifted
up mine
hand unto
the seed of the house of Jacob, and made
myself
known unto
them in the land of Egypt, when
I lifted
up mine
hand unto
them, saying, I am the
LORD
your God ;
and thou
hast
said
unto them :
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
In the day of
My
fixing
on
Israel, I
lift
up My
hand ,
To
the seed of the house of Jacob, And am
known to
them in the land of Egypt, And
I lift
up My
hand to
them, Saying, I `
am '
Jehovah
your God .
In the
day
that I lifted
up mine
hand unto
them, to bring them forth of
the land of Egypt into
a land that I had
espied
for them, flowing with milk and honey, which
is the
glory
of
all lands :
In that day
I did
lift
up My
hand to
them, To bring them forth from
the land of Egypt ,
Unto
a land that I spied
out
for them, Flowing with milk and honey, A
beauty
it
`
is '
to
all the
lands ,
Then
said
I unto them, Cast ye
away every
man
the abominations
of his eyes, and defile
not
yourselves
with the idols of Egypt :
I am the
LORD
your God.
And
I say
unto them, Let
each
cast away the detestable
things
of his eyes, And with the idols of Egypt be
not
defiled,
I `
am '
Jehovah
your God.
But
they rebelled
against me, and would
not hearken unto
me :
they
did
not
every
man
cast
away
the abominations
of their eyes, neither
did
they forsake
the idols of Egypt :
then
I
said
, I will
pour out my fury upon
them, to accomplish
my
anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
And
--
they rebel
against Me, And have
not been
willing
to
hearken to
Me ,
Each,
the detestable
things
of their eyes, They have
not
cast
away,
And
the idols of Egypt have
not
forsaken
, And
I say
--
to
pour out My fury on
them, To complete
Mine
anger against them ,
In the midst of the land of Egypt.
But
I wrought
for my name's sake, that
it
should
not be
polluted
before the heathen
, among
whom
they were
, in
whose sight
I made
myself
known unto
them, in
bringing
them forth
out of
the land of Egypt.
And
I do
`it'
for My name's sake, Not to
pollute
`it'
before the eyes
of
the
nations
, In
whose
midst
they `are'
, Before
whose eyes
I became
known to
them, To
bring
them out from
the land of Egypt.
Wherefore
I caused
them to
go
forth
out of the land of Egypt, and brought
them into
the wilderness .
And
I bring
them out of the land of Egypt, And I
bring
them in
unto
the wilderness ,
And I gave
them my statutes, and shewed
them
my judgments, which if
a
man do,
he
shall
even
live
in
them.
And I give
to
them My statutes, And my judgments I
caused
them
to
know
, Which the
man who
doth
--
liveth
by
them.
Moreover
also I
gave
them
my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that
they
might
know that I am the
LORD
that
sanctify
them
.
And
also My sabbaths I
have
given
to
them
, To be for
a sign between Me and them, To
know that I `
am '
Jehovah
their
sanctifier
.
But
the house of Israel rebelled
against
me
in the wilderness :
they
walked
not
in my statutes, and they
despised
my judgments, which if
a
man do,
he
shall
even
live
in
them ;
and my sabbaths they greatly polluted :
then
I
said
, I would
pour out my fury upon
them in the wilderness, to consume them.
And
--
rebel
against
me
do
the house of Israel in the wilderness ,
In My statutes they
have
not
walked
, And My judgments they
have
despised
, Which the
man who
doth
--
liveth
by
them .
And My sabbaths they have
greatly polluted, And
I say
to
pour out My fury on
them in the wilderness, to consume them.
But
I wrought
for my name's sake, that
it
should
not be
polluted
before the heathen
, in
whose sight
I brought them out
.
And
I do
`it'
for My name's sake, Not to
pollute
`it'
before the eyes
of
the
nations
, Before
whose eyes
I brought them forth
.
Yet
also I lifted up my hand unto
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 ;
And
also ,
I ,
I
have
lifted up My hand to
them in the wilderness, Not to
bring them in
to
the land that
I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, A
beauty
it
`
is '
to
all the
lands ,
Because they
despised
my judgments, and walked
not
in my statutes, but
polluted
my sabbaths :
for their
heart
went
after their idols.
Because against
My judgments they
did
kick
, And in My statutes they
have
not
walked
, And
My sabbaths they
have
polluted,
For after their idols their
heart
is
going
.
Nevertheless
mine eye spared
them from
destroying them, neither
did
I make
an
end
of them in the wilderness.
And
Mine eye hath
pity
on
them --
against
destroying them, And
I have
not
made
of them an
end
in the wilderness.
But
I said
unto
their children
in the wilderness ,
Walk
ye
not
in the statutes of your fathers, neither
observe
their judgments, nor
defile
yourselves
with their idols :
And
I say
to
their sons
in the wilderness :
In the statutes of your fathers ye
walk
not
, And
their judgments ye
do
not
observe
, And
with their idols ye
are
not
defiled.
I am the
LORD
your God ;
walk
in my statutes, and keep
my judgments, and do them ;
I `
am '
Jehovah
your God ,
in My statutes walk
, And My judgments observe
, and do them ,
And hallow
my sabbaths ;
and they shall
be
a sign between me and you, that
ye
may
know that I am the
LORD
your God.
And My sabbaths sanctify,
And they have
been
for
a sign between Me and you, To
know that I ,
Jehovah,
`
am '
your God.
Notwithstanding
the children
rebelled
against me :
they
walked
not
in my statutes, neither
kept
my judgments to do them, which if
a
man do,
he
shall
even
live
in
them ;
they
polluted
my sabbaths :
then
I
said
, I would
pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish
my
anger against them in the wilderness.
And
--
the sons
rebel
against Me ,
In My statutes they
have
not
walked
, And
My judgments they
have
not
observed
--
to do them, Which the
man who
doth
--
liveth
by
them .
My sabbaths they
have
polluted
, And
I say
to
pour out My fury upon them, To complete
Mine
anger against them in the wilderness.
Nevertheless
I withdrew
mine
hand, and wrought
for my name's sake, that
it
should
not be
polluted
in
the sight
of the heathen
, in
whose sight
I brought them forth
.
And
I have
turned
back
My
hand, And I
do
`it'
for My name's sake, Not to
pollute
`it'
before
the eyes
of the nations
, Before
whose eyes
I brought them out
.
I lifted up mine
hand unto
them also
in the wilderness, that
I
would
scatter them among the
heathen
, and disperse
them through the
countries;
I also,
I
have
lifted up My
hand to
them in the wilderness, To
scatter them among nations
, And to
spread
them through lands.
Because they
had
not
executed
my judgments, but
had
despised
my statutes, and had
polluted
my sabbaths, and their
eyes
were
after their fathers '
idols
.
Because My judgments they
have
not
done
, And
My statutes they
have
despised
, And My sabbaths they
have
polluted
, And after idols
of
their fathers have
their
eyes
been
.
Wherefore
I gave
them
also statutes that
were
not good, and judgments whereby
they should
not live ;
And
I also ,
I
have
given
to
them
statutes not good, And judgments by
which
they do
not live .
And I polluted
them in
their own gifts, in
that
they
caused
to pass through
the
fire
all
that
openeth
the
womb, that I might
make them desolate, to
the
end
that they might
know that I am the
LORD
.
And I defile
them by
their own gifts, By
causing
to pass away
every
opener
of
a
womb, So
that I make them desolate, So
that they know that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
Therefore, son
of
man,
speak unto the house of Israel, and say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Yet
in this your fathers have
blasphemed
me, in that
they
have
committed
a
trespass
against me.
Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son
of
man,
and thou
hast
said
unto them, Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Still
in this have
your fathers reviled
Me, In their
committing
against Me a
trespass
.
For
when
I had
brought
them into
the land, for
the
which
I lifted
up mine
hand to give it
to them, then
they saw
every high hill, and all
the
thick trees
, and they offered
there their sacrifices, and there they
presented
the provocation of their offering :
there also
they
made
their sweet savour
, and poured
out there their drink
offerings
.
And
I bring
them in
unto
the land, That
I did
lift
up My
hand to give to them, And
they see
every high hill, and every
thick tree
, And they sacrifice
there their sacrifices, And give
there the provocation of their offering ,
And
make
there their sweet fragrance
, And they
pour
out there their libations
.
Then
I said
unto them ,
What is the high place whereunto
ye go
? And the
name whereof
is called Bamah
unto
this day.
And
I say
unto them :
What `
is '
the high place whither
ye are
going
in
? And its
name is called `high
place'
to
this day.
Wherefore
say unto the house of Israel ,
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Are
ye
polluted
after
the manner
of your fathers? and commit
ye
whoredom
after their abominations
?
Therefore,
say unto the house of Israel :
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
In
the way
of your fathers are
ye
defiled
? And after their detestable
things
go
a-whoring
?
For
when
ye
offer
your gifts, when
ye
make
your sons to pass through the
fire, ye pollute
yourselves
with
all your idols ,
even
unto
this day :
and shall
I be
enquired
of
by you, O house of Israel ?
As
I live ,
saith
the Lord GOD
, I will
not be
enquired
of
by you.
And
in
the
offering
of
your gifts, In
causing
your sons to pass through fire, Ye are
defiled
by
all your idols to
this day ,
And I am
sought
by you, O house of Israel !
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, I am
not sought
by you.
And that which cometh
into
your mind shall
not be
at all ,
that ye say,
We will be as the heathen
, as the families of the countries
, to serve wood and stone.
And that which is
going
up
on
your mind ,
It
is
not at all --
in
that ye are
saying:
We will be as the nations
, as the families of the lands
, To serve wood and stone.
As
I live ,
saith
the Lord GOD
, surely
with a mighty
hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out ,
will
I
rule over you :
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, Do
not
I,
with a strong
hand, And with a stretched -
out arm, And with fury poured out --
rule over you ?
And I will
bring
you out
from the people
, and will
gather
you out
of
the countries
wherein
ye are
scattered, with a mighty
hand ,
and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
And I have
brought
you forth
from the peoples
, And assembled
you from
the lands
In
which
ye have
been
scattered, With a strong
hand and with a stretched -
out arm, And with fury poured out.
And I will
bring
you into
the wilderness of the people
, and there
will
I
plead
with you face to face.
And I have
brought
you in
unto
the wilderness of the peoples
, And have
been
judged
with you there
face to face.
Like
as I pleaded
with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will
I plead
with you, saith
the Lord GOD
.
As I was
judged
with your fathers ,
In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am
judged
with you, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
And I will
cause
you to pass under the rod, and I
will
bring
you into the bond of the covenant :
And I have
caused
you to pass under the rod, And brought
you into the bond of the covenant ,
And I
will
purge
out from among
you the rebels, and them that
transgress
against me :
I will
bring them forth
out of
the
country
where
they
sojourn
, and they
shall
not
enter
into
the land of Israel :
and ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD
.
And cleared
out from you the rebels, And them transgressing
against Me ,
From
the
land
of
their
sojournings
I bring them out, And unto
the land of Israel they
come
not,
And ye have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
.
As
for
you
, O house of Israel, thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Go ye,
serve ye every
one
his
idols
, and hereafter
also
, if ye will
not hearken
unto
me :
but
pollute
ye
my holy name no
more with
your gifts, and with
your idols.
And
ye
, O house of Israel, thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Each
his
idols
--
go --
serve ye, And, afterwards,
if ye are
not hearkening
to
me ,
And
My holy name ye
do
not
pollute
any
more by
your gifts, and by
your idols.
For in mine
holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith
the Lord GOD
, there shall
all the house of Israel, all of them
in the land ,
serve
me:
there will
I accept them, and there will
I require
your offerings, and the firstfruits
of your oblations
, with all your holy things.
For ,
in My
holy mountain, In the mountain of the height of Israel, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, There serve
Me
do
all the house of Israel, All of it,
in the land --
there I accept them, And there I do
seek
your heave-
offerings, And with
the first-fruit
of your gifts
, With all your holy things.
I will
accept you with
your
sweet
savour
, when
I
bring
you out from the people
, and gather
you out
of
the countries
wherein
ye have been scattered ;
and I will
be
sanctified in you before the heathen
.
With
sweet
fragrance
I do
accept you, In
My
bringing
you out from the peoples
, And I
have
assembled
you from
the lands
In
which
ye have been scattered ,
And I have
been
sanctified in you Before the eyes
of
the
nations
.
And ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD
, when
I
shall
bring
you into
the land
of Israel, into
the
country
for
the which
I lifted
up mine
hand to give it to your fathers .
And ye have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
, In
My
bringing
you to
the ground
of Israel, Unto
the land
that
I did
lift
up My
hand To give it to your fathers ,
And there
shall
ye remember
your ways, and all your doings, wherein
ye have been defiled ;
and ye shall
lothe
yourselves
in your own sight
for all your evils that ye have committed
.
And ye have
remembered
there
your ways, And all your doings, In
which
ye have been defiled ,
And ye have
been
loathsome
in your own faces,
For all your evils that ye have done
.
And ye shall
know
that I am the
LORD
when
I
have
wrought
with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked
ways, nor
according to your corrupt doings, O ye
house of Israel, saith
the Lord GOD
.
And ye have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah,
In
My
dealing
with you for My name's sake, Not according to your evil
ways, And
according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
. '
Moreover
the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face toward
the south
, and drop
thy
word
toward
the south, and prophesy against
the forest of the south
field;
Son of man, set thy face the way
of
Teman
, and prophesy
unto
the south, and prophesy unto
the forest of the field --
the
south
;
And say
to the forest of the south ,
Hear the
word of the
LORD;
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold
, I will
kindle
a
fire
in thee, and it shall
devour
every
green
tree
in thee, and every dry tree :
the
flaming
flame
shall
not be
quenched, and all faces from the
south to the
north shall
be
burned
therein
.
and thou
hast
said
to the forest of the south :
Hear a
word of Jehovah:
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Lo
, I am
kindling
in thee a
fire
, And it hath
devoured
in thee every
moist
tree
, and every dry tree ,
Not quenched is
the
glowing
flames
, And burnt
by
it
have
been
all faces from south to north.
And all flesh shall
see
that I the
LORD
have kindled it :
it shall
not be
quenched.
And seen
have
all flesh ,
that I ,
Jehovah,
have kindled it --
it is
not quenched. '
Then
said
I, Ah Lord GOD!
they say
of me, Doth
he not speak
parables
?
And
I say
, `
Ah ,
Lord Jehovah,
They are
saying
of me, Is
he not using
similes
?
