ylt @Ezekiel:20:30 @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 ? ylt @Ezekiel:20:31 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:32 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:33 @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 ? ylt @Ezekiel:20:34 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:35 @And I have brought you in unto the wilderness of the peoples , And have been judged with you there face to face . ylt @Ezekiel:20:36 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:37 @And I have caused you to pass under the rod , And brought you into the bond of the covenant , ylt @Ezekiel:20:38 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:39 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:40 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:41 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:42 @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 , ylt @Ezekiel:20:43 @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 . ylt @Ezekiel:20:44 @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 .'
