Ezekiel 20:1-8

1And it came to pass in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549month, the tenthH6218day of the monthH2320, that certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me. 2Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to me, sayingH559, 3SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 to the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 to them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye comeH935 to enquireH1875 of me? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you. 4Wilt thou judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 them ? cause them to knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1:1

5And sayH559 to them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when I choseH977 IsraelH3478, and lifted upH5375 my handH3027 to the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and made myself knownH3045 to them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I liftedH5375 up my handH3027 to them, sayingH559, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430;2 6In the dayH3117 that I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 to them, to bring them forthH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had searched outH8446 for them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776: 7Then saidH559 I to them, Cast ye awayH7993 every manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 not yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430. 8But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 to me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
