Ezekiel 20:1-8

1Now in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 month, on the tenthH6218 of the monthH2320, menH376 from the 1eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to inquireH1875 of the LordH3068, and they satH3427 beforeH6440 me. 2Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 3“SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 2GodH3068 saysH559: “Do you yourselvesH864 comeH935 to inquireH1875 of Me? As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “3I certainlyH518 will not be inquiredH1875 of by you.”’ 4Will you judgeH8199 them, will you judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120? 4Make knownH3045 to them the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1; 5and sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “On the dayH3117 when I 5choseH977 IsraelH3478 and 6sworeH5375H3027 to the 7descendantsH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 and madeH3045 Myself knownH3045 to them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I 8sworeH5375H3027 to them, sayingH559, 9I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, 6on that dayH3117 I sworeH5375H3027 to them, 10to bringH3318 them outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had 11selectedH8446 for them, 12flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, whichH1931 is 13the gloryH6643 of allH3605 the landsH776. 7And I saidH559 to them, ‘14ThrowH7993 awayH7993, eachH376 of you, the detestableH8251 thingsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and 15do not defileH2930 yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714; 16I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’ 8But they 17rebelledH4784 against Me and wereH14 not willingH14 to listenH8085 to Me; they did not throwH7993 awayH7993, eachH376 of them, the detestableH8251 thingsH8251 of their eyesH5869, norH3808 did they abandonH5800 the 18idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714.

“Then I 19resolvedH559 to 20pourH8210 outH8210 My wrathH2534 on them, to 21useH3615 upH3615 My angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
