ylt @Ezekiel:20:1 @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 ; ylt @Ezekiel:20:2 @and there is a word of Jehovah unto me , saying , ylt @Ezekiel:20:3 @'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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:4 @Dost thou judge them ? Dost thou judge , son of man ? The abominations of their fathers cause them to know , ylt @Ezekiel:20:5 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:6 @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 , ylt @Ezekiel:20:7 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:8 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:9 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:10 @And I bring them out of the land of Egypt , And I bring them in unto the wilderness , ylt @Ezekiel:20:11 @And I give to them My statutes , And my judgments I caused them to know , Which the man who doth -- liveth by them . ylt @Ezekiel:20:12 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:13 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:14 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:15 @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 , ylt @Ezekiel:20:16 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:17 @And Mine eye hath pity on them -- against destroying them , And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness . ylt @Ezekiel:20:18 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:19 @I [am ] Jehovah your God , in My statutes walk , And My judgments observe , and do them , ylt @Ezekiel:20:20 @And My sabbaths sanctify , And they have been for a sign between Me and you , To know that I , Jehovah , [am ] your God . ylt @Ezekiel:20:21 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:22 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:23 @I also , I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness , To scatter them among nations , And to spread them through lands . ylt @Ezekiel:20:24 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:25 @And I also , I have given to them statutes not good , And judgments by which they do not live . ylt @Ezekiel:20:26 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:27 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:28 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:29 @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 .
