Berean Standard Bible
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 ;
In the seventh year, on
the tenth day
of the fifth
month, some
of the elders of Israel came
to inquire
of
the
LORD
, and they sat
down
before me .
and
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
`
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
.
“
Son of man, speak to
the elders of Israel and tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Have
you
come
to inquire
of
Me? As
surely
as
I live ,
I will
not be
consulted
by you ,
declares
the Lord GOD
.
Dost
thou
judge them ?
Dost
thou
judge, son of man? The abominations of their fathers cause
them
to
know,
Will
you
judge them ,
will
you
judge them
, son of man? Confront
them
with
the abominations of their fathers
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.
and tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: On
the day I
chose
Israel, I swore
an
oath
to the descendants
of the house of Jacob and made
Myself
known to them in the land of Egypt .
With
an
uplifted
hand I
said
to them, ‘
I am the
LORD
your God. ’
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 ,
On
that day I swore
to bring them out
of
the land of Egypt into
a land that I had
searched
out for them, a
land
flowing with milk and honey, the glory
of
all
lands .
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.
And I said
to
them :
‘
Each of
you
must
throw
away the abominations
before
his eyes, and you
must
not
defile
yourselves
with the idols of Egypt .
I am the
LORD
your God. ’
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
they rebelled
against Me and refused
to listen.
None
of them
cast
away
the
abominations
before
their eyes, and
they did
not forsake
the idols of Egypt .
So
I resolved
to pour out My wrath
upon
them and
vent
My
anger against them in 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.
But
I acted
for the
sake of
My
name
, that
it should
not
be
profaned
in
the eyes of the nations among
whom
they were
living
, in
whose sight
I had
revealed
Myself
to Israel
by
bringing
them out of
the land of Egypt.
And
I bring
them out of the land of Egypt ,
And I
bring
them in
unto
the wilderness ,
So
I brought
them out of the land of Egypt and led
them into
the wilderness .
And I give
to
them My statutes ,
And my
judgments
I
caused
them
to know,
Which
the man who doth
--
liveth
by them.
And I gave
them My statutes and made
known
to them
My
ordinances—for
the man who does
these
things
will
live
by 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
.
I
also gave
them
My Sabbaths as
a sign between us
, so
that
they
would
know that I am the
LORD
who
sanctifies
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
.
Yet
the house of Israel rebelled
against
Me
in the wilderness .
They did
not follow
My statutes
and
they rejected
My
ordinances—though
the man who does
these
things
will
live
by them —
and they
utterly
profaned
My Sabbaths .
Then
I resolved
to pour out My wrath
upon
them and
put
an
end
to
them
in the wilderness.
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
.
But
I acted
for the
sake of
My
name
, so
that
it would
not
be
profaned
in
the eyes of the nations in
whose sight
I had
brought them out
.
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 ,
Moreover
, with
an
uplifted
hand I
swore
to them in the wilderness that
I
would
not bring them into
the land that I had given them—a
land
flowing with milk and honey, the glory
of
all
lands —
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
.
because they kept
rejecting
My
ordinances
, refusing
to
walk
in My statutes, and profaning
My Sabbaths ;
for their
hearts
continually
went
after their idols.
And
Mine
eye
hath
pity
on them --
against
destroying
them,
And I
have
not made
of
them an end in the wilderness.
Yet
I
looked
on them with
pity
and did
not destroy
them or
bring
them
to
an end in the wilderness.
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
.
In the wilderness I
said
to
their
children
: ‘Do
not
walk
in the statutes of your fathers or
keep
their ordinances
or
defile
yourselves
with their idols.
I `
am '
Jehovah
your God ,
in My statutes walk
, And
My judgments
observe
, and do
them ,
I am the
LORD
your God ;
walk
in My statutes, keep
My ordinances
, and practice
them .
And
My sabbaths sanctify
, And
they have
been
for
a sign between Me
and
you
, To
know that I ,
Jehovah,
`
am '
your God.
Keep
My Sabbaths holy
, that
they may
be
a sign between us
, so
that
you
may
know that I am the
LORD
your God. ’
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.
But
the children
rebelled
against Me .
They
did
not
walk
in My statutes or
carefully
observe
My ordinances—though
the man who does
these
things
will
live
by them —and
they
profaned
My Sabbaths .
So
I resolved
to pour out My wrath
upon them and
vent
My
anger against them in the wilderness.
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.
But
I withheld
My hand and acted
for the
sake of
My
name
, so
that
it would
not
be
profaned
in
the eyes of the nations in
whose sight
I had
brought them out.
I
also
, I
have
lifted
up
My
hand to them in the wilderness ,
To
scatter them among nations ,
And to
spread
them through
lands.
However
, with
an
uplifted
hand I
swore
to them in the wilderness that
I
would
scatter them among the
nations and disperse
them throughout
the
lands.
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
.
For
they did
not practice
My
ordinances
, but
they
rejected
My statutes and profaned
My Sabbaths, fixing
their
eyes
on
the
idols of their fathers.
And
I also ,
I
have
given
to
them statutes not good ,
And judgments
by which they do
not live.
I also gave
them over
to
statutes that
were
not good and ordinances
by which they could
not live.
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
.
And I pronounced
them unclean
through
their gifts —the
sacrifice
of every
firstborn
in
the
fire—
so that I might
devastate
them, in
order
that they would
know that I am the
LORD
.
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
.
Therefore, son
of
man,
speak to
the house of Israel, and tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: In this way
also
your fathers blasphemed
Me by
their unfaithfulness
against Me.
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
.
When
I brought
them into
the land that I swore
to give them and they saw
any
high hill or
leafy
tree, there they
offered
their sacrifices, presented
offerings
that
provoked
Me
, sent
up
their fragrant
incense
, and poured
out their drink
offerings
.
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.
So
I asked
them: ‘
What is this
high place to
which
you
go
? ’
(
And to this day it
is
called
Bamah
. )
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
?
Therefore tell
the house of Israel that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Will
you
defile
yourselves
the way your fathers did,
prostituting
yourselves
with
their abominations
?
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 .
When
you
offer
your gifts, sacrificing
your sons in
the
fire, you
continue
to
defile
yourselves
with
all your idols to this day .
So
should
I be
consulted
by you, O house of Israel ?
As
surely
as
I live ,
declares
the Lord GOD
, I will
not be
consulted
by you !
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.
When
you
say
, ‘Let
us
be like
the nations, like
the peoples
of the lands, serving
wood and stone ,’
what
you
have
in
mind
will
never
come
to
pass
.
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 ?
As
surely
as
I live ,
declares
the Lord GOD
, with a strong hand, an
outstretched
arm, and outpoured
wrath
I
will
rule over you .
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
.
With
a
strong
hand,
an
outstretched
arm,
and outpoured
wrath
I will
bring
you out
from the peoples and gather
you from the lands to
which you
have been scattered.
And I have
brought
you in
unto
the wilderness of the peoples
, And
have
been
judged
with you there
face to face.
And I will
bring
you into
the wilderness of the nations
, where
I
will
enter
into
judgment
with you face to face.
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
.
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, declares
the Lord GOD
.
And
I have
caused
you to
pass under the rod ,
And brought
you into the bond of the covenant ,
I will
make
you pass under the rod and will
bring
you into the bond of the covenant .
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
.
And I
will
purge
you of
those
who
rebel
and transgress
against Me .
I will
bring them out of
the
land
in
which
they
dwell
, but
they
will
not
enter
the land of Israel .
Then
you
will
know
that I am the
LORD
.
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.
And as
for
you
, O house of Israel, this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Go and serve
your
idols
, every
one
of
you.
But
afterward
, you
will
surely
listen
to Me, and you
will
no
longer
defile
My holy name with
your gifts and idols.
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
.
For on
My holy mountain, 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 will
require
your offerings and choice
gifts, along
with all your holy sacrifices
.
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.
When
I bring
you from the peoples and gather
you from the lands to
which you
have been scattered, I
will
accept
you
as
a
pleasing
aroma.
And I will
show
My
holiness
through
you in
the sight
of the nations.
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 ,
Then
you
will
know
that I am the
LORD
, when
I
bring
you into
the land
of Israel, the land that I swore
to give your fathers .
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.
There you
will
remember
your ways and all the
deeds
with
which you
have defiled yourselves
, and you
will
loathe
yourselves
for all the
evils you
have done.
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
. '
Then
you
will
know,
O
house
of
Israel,
that I am the
LORD
, when
I
have
dealt
with you for the
sake of
My
name
and
not according to your wicked
ways and corrupt acts
, declares
the Lord GOD
. ”
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
Now
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
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;
“
Son of man, set your
face toward
the south, preach
against
it,
and prophesy against
the forest of the Negev.
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.
Say
to the forest of the Negev
: Hear the
word of the LORD !
This
is
what
the
Lord
GOD
says
: I am about
to
ignite
in you
a fire, and it will
devour
all
your
trees
, both
green
and dry .
The
blazing
flame
will
not be
quenched, and by it every
face
from south to north will
be
scorched
.
And
seen
have
all flesh,
that I, Jehovah
, have kindled it --
it is
not quenched. '
Then
all people
will
see
that I, the
LORD
, have kindled it ;
it will
not be
quenched. ”
And
I say
, `
Ah, Lord Jehovah
, They are saying of me, Is he not using
similes
?
Then
I said
, “
Ah, Lord GOD
, they are saying of me, ‘
Is he not just
telling
parables
? ’”
