*
In the seventh year ,
in the fifth month ,
on the tenth day of the month ,
certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD ,
and sat before me .
*
And the word of the LORD came to me :
* "
Son of man ,
speak to the elders of Israel ,
and say to them ,
Thus says the Lord GOD ,
Is it to inquire of me that you come ?
As I live ,
says the Lord GOD ,
I will not be inquired of by you .
*
Will you judge them ,
son of man ,
will you judge them ?
Then let them know the abominations of their fathers ,
*
and say to them ,
Thus says the Lord GOD :
On the day when I chose Israel ,
I swore to the seed of the house of Jacob ,
making myself known to them in the land of Egypt ,
I swore to them ,
saying ,
I am the LORD your God .
*
On that day I swore to them that I would 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 most glorious of all lands .
*
And I said to them ,
Cast away the detestable things your eyes feast on ,
every one of you ,
and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt ;
I am the LORD your God .
