Ezekiel 20:1-8
1Now in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 month, on the tenthH6218 of the monthH2320, 1certainH376 of the 2eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to inquireH1875 of the LordH3068, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me. 2And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 3“SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 3GodH3068, “Do you comeH935 to inquireH1875 of Me? As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “4I will not be inquiredH1875 of by you.”’ 4Will you judgeH8199 them, will you judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120? 5Make them knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1; 5and sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “On the dayH3117 when I 6choseH977 IsraelH3478 and 7sworeH5375H3027 to the 8descendantsH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 and madeH3045 Myself knownH3045 to them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I 9sworeH5375H3027 to them, sayingH559, 10I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, 6on that dayH3117 I sworeH5375H3027 to them, 11to bringH3318 them out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had 12selectedH8446 for them, 13flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, whichH1931 is 14the gloryH6643 of allH3605 landsH776. 7I saidH559 to them, ‘15CastH7993 awayH7993, eachH376 of you, the detestableH8251 thingsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and 16do not defileH2930 yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714; 17I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’ 8But they 18rebelledH4784 against Me and were not willingH14 to listenH8085 to Me; 19they did not castH7993 awayH7993 the detestableH8251 thingsH8251 of their eyesH5869, norH3808 did they forsakeH5800 the 20idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714.
Then I 21resolvedH559 to 22pourH8210 out My wrathH2534 on them, to accomplishH3615 My angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
