Ezekiel 20:1-8

1Now in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, 1certain of the 2elders of Israel came to inquire of the Lord, and sat before me. 2And the word of the Lord came to me saying, 3“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord 3God, “Do you come to inquire of Me? As I live,” declares the Lord God, “4I will not be inquired of by you.”’ 4Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? 5Make them know the abominations of their fathers; 5and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “On the day when I 6chose Israel and 7swore to the 8descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I 9swore to them, saying, 10I am the Lord your God, 6on that day I swore to them, 11to bring them out from the land of Egypt into a land that I had 12selected for them, 13flowing with milk and honey, which is 14the glory of all lands. 7I said to them, ‘15Cast away, each of you, the detestable things of his eyes, and 16do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; 17I am the Lord your God.’ 8But they 18rebelled against Me and were not willing to listen to Me; 19they did not cast away the detestable things of their eyes, nor did they forsake the 20idols of Egypt.

Then I 21resolved to 22pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
