1 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G1722 in G3588 the G2094 [²year G3588 G1442 ¹seventh], G1722 in G3588 the G3991 fifth G3376 month, G1181 tenth G3588 of the G3376 month, G2064 there came G435 men G1537 from G3588 the G4245 elders G3588 of the G3624 house G* of Israel G1905 to ask of G3588 the G2962 lord . G2532 And G2523 they sat G4253 before G4383 my face. G1473

2 G2532 And G1096 [³came G3056 ¹ the word G2962 ² of the lord] G4314 to G1473 me, G3004 saying,

3 G5207 O son G444 of man, G2980 speak G4314 to G3588 the G4245 elders G3588 G* of Israel! G2532 and G2046 you shall say G4314 to G1473 them, G3592 Thus G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord; G1487 Are G1905 [³to ask G1473 ⁴me G1473 ¹you G2064 ²come]? G2198 As I live, G1473 G1487 I shall not G611 be answering G1473 to you, G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord .

4 G1487 Shall G1556 I punish G1473 them G1557 with punishment, G5207 O son G444 of man? G3588 [³of the G458 ⁴lawless deeds G3588 G3962 ⁵of their fathers G1473 G1263 ¹Testify G1473 ²to them]!

5 G2532 And G2046 you shall say G4314 to G1473 them, G3592 Thus G3004 says G2962 the lord; G575 From G3739 which G2250 day G140 I took up G3588 the G3624 house G3588 G* of Israel, G2532 and G1107 made known G3588 to the G4690 seed G3624 of the house G3588 G* of Jacob, G2532 and G1097 was known G1473 by them G1722 in G1093 the land G* of Egypt, G2532 and G482 took hold of G3588 G5495 [²with my hand G1473 G1473 ¹them], G3004 saying, G1473 I am G2962 the lord G3588 G2316 your God. G1473

6 G1722 In G1565 that G3588 G2250 day G482 I took hold G1473 of them G3588 G5495 by my hand, G1473 G3588 G1806 to lead G1473 them G1537 from out of G1093 the land G* of Egypt, G1519 into G3588 the G1093 land G3739 which G2090 I prepared G1473 for them; G1093 a land G4482 flowing G1051 milk G2532 and G3192 honey, G2781 the honeycomb G1510.2.3 is G3844 beyond G3956 every G3588 G1093 land.

7 G2532 And G2036 I said G4314 to G1473 them, G1538 Let each G3588 [²the G946 ³abominations G3588 G3788 ⁴of his eyes G1473 G641 ¹throw away]! G2532 and G1722 in G3588 the G2006.1 practices G* of Egypt G3361 be not G3392 defiled! G1473 I am G2962 the lord G3588 G2316 your God. G1473

8 G2532 And G868 they revolted G575 from G1473 me, G2532 and G3756 wanted not G2309 G1522 to listen to G1473 me. G1538 Each G3588 [²the G946 ³abominations G3588 G3788 ⁴of their eyes G1473 G3756 ¹threw not away], G641 G2532 and G3588 the G2006.1 practices G* of Egypt G3756 they abandoned not. G1459 G2532 And G2036 I spoke G3588 G1632 to pour out G3588 G2372 my rage G1473 G1909 upon G1473 them; G3588 G4931 to complete G3588 G3709 my anger G1473 G1722 among G1473 them G1722 in G3319 the midst G3588 G* of Egypt.

9 G2532 And G4160 I acted G3704 so that G3588 G3686 my name G1473 G3588 G3892.4 should not be thoroughly G3361 G953 profaned G1799 before G3588 the G1484 nations G3739 which G1473 they G1510.2.6 are G1722 in G3319 the midst G1473 of them, G1722 to G3739 the ones whom G1097 I made known G4314 to G1473 them G1799 of their presence, G1473 G3588 G1806 to lead G1473 them G1537 from out of G1093 the land G* of Egypt.

10 G2532 And G1806 I led G1473 them G1537 from G1093 the land G* of Egypt, G2532 and G71 I led G1473 them G1519 into G3588 the G2048 wilderness.

11 G2532 And G1325 I gave G1473 them G3588 G4366.2 my orders, G1473 G2532 and G3588 G1345 [²my ordinances G1473 G1107 ¹I made known] G1473 to them; G5613 how G302 if G4160 [²should do G1473 ³them G444 ¹a man] G2532 then G2198 he shall live G1722 by G1473 them.

12 G2532 And G3588 G4521 my Sabbaths G1473 G1325 I gave G1473 to them, G3588 G1510.1 to be G1519 for G4592 a sign G303.1 between G1473 me G2532 and G303.1 between G1473 them, G3588 G1097 for them to know G1473 G3754 that G1473 I am G2962 the lord, G3588 the one G37 sanctifying G1473 them.

13 G2532 And G3893 [⁴greatly embittered G1473 ⁵me G3588 ¹the G3624 ²house G3588 G* ³of Israel] G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness. G1722 In G3588 G4366.2 my orders G1473 G3756 they did not go, G4198 G2532 and G3588 G1345 my ordinances G1473 G683 they thrust away, G3739 which G4160 [²shall do G1473 ³them G444 ¹a man] G2532 and G2198 shall live G1722 by G1473 them. G2532 And G3588 G4521 [²my Sabbaths G1473 G953 ¹they profaned] G4970 exceedingly. G2532 And G2036 I spoke G3588 G1632 to pour out G3588 G2372 my rage G1473 G1909 upon G1473 them G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness, G3588 G1814.4 to completely consume G1473 them.

14 G2532 And G4160 I acted G3704 so that G3588 G3686 my name G1473 G3588 G3892.4 should not be thoroughly G3361 G953 profaned G1799 before G3588 the G1484 nations G3739 which G1806 I led G1473 them out G2596 before G3788 their eyes. G1473

15 G2532 And G1473 I G1808 lifted G3588 G5495 my hand G1473 G1909 against G1473 them G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness, G3588 the G3892.4 thorough one, G3588 G3361 to not G1521 bring G1473 them G1519 into G3588 the G1093 land G3739 which G1325 I gave G1473 to them, G1093 a land G4482 flowing G1051 milk G2532 and G3192 honey; G2781 ( the honeycomb G1510.2.3 is G3844 beyond G3956 all G3588 the G1093 land).

16 G446.2 Because G3588 G1345 [²my ordinances G1473 G683 ¹they thrusted away], G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G4366.2 my orders G1473 G3756 they went not G4198 G1722 by G1473 them; G2532 and G3588 G4521 [²my Sabbaths G1473 G953 ¹they profaned], G2532 and G3694 [²after G3588 ³the G1760.1 ⁴thoughts G3588 G2588 ⁵of their hearts G1473 G4198 ¹they went].

17 G2532 And G5339 [²spared G1473 ³them G3588 G3788 ¹my eye] G1473 G3588 G3361 to not wipe them away, G1813 G1473 G2532 and G3756 I did not commit G4160 G1473 them G1519 unto G4930 consumption G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness.

18 G2532 And G2036 I said G4314 to G3588 G5043 their children G1473 G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness, G1722 [²in G3588 ³the G3544.1 ⁴laws G3588 G3962 ⁵of your fathers G1473 G3361 ¹Do not go], G4198 G2532 and G3588 G1345 [³their ordinances G1473 G3361 ¹do not G5442 ²keep], G2532 and G1722 [³in G3588 G2006.1 ⁴their practices G1473 G3361 ¹do not G4874 ²intermingle], G2532 and G3361 be not G3392 defiled!

19 G1473 I am G2962 the lord G3588 G2316 your God; G1473 G1722 [²by G3588 G4366.2 ³my orders G4198 ¹go], G2532 and G3588 G1345 [²my ordinances G1473 G5442 ¹keep], G2532 and G4160 do G1473 them!

20 G2532 And G3588 G4521 my Sabbaths -- G1473 G37 sanctify G1473 them! G2532 and G1510.8.3 it will be G1519 for G4592 a sign G303.1 between G1473 me G2532 and G1473 you, G3588 G1097 to know G3754 that G1473 I am G2962 the lord G3588 G2316 your God. G1473

21 G2532 And G3893 they rebelled against G1473 me. G2532 And G3588 G5043 their children G1473 G1722 [²by G3588 G4366.2 ³my orders G1473 G3756 ¹went not]. G4198 G2532 And G3588 G1345 my ordinances G3756 they guarded not G5442 G3588 G4160 to do G1473 them, G3739 which G4160 [²does G444 ¹if a man] G2532 then G2198 he shall live G1722 by G1473 them. G2532 And G3588 G4521 my Sabbaths G1473 G953 they profaned. G2532 And G2036 I spoke G3588 G1632 to pour out G3588 G2372 my rage G1473 G1909 upon G1473 them, G2532 and G3588 G4931 to complete G3588 G3709 my anger G1473 G1909 against G1473 them G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness.

22 G2532 And G1994 I turned G3588 G5495 my hand G1473 G1473 against them, G2532 and G4160 I acted G1752 because of G1473 myself, G3704 so that G3588 G3686 my name G1473 G3588 G3892.4 [³thoroughly G3361 ¹should not G953 ²be] profaned G1799 before G3588 the G1484 nations; G575 from G3779 whom G1806 I led them out G1473 G2596 before G3788 their eyes. G1473

23 G2532 And G1808 I lifted up G3588 G5495 my hand G1473 G1909 against G1473 them G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness, G3588 G1287 to disperse G1473 them G1722 among G3588 the G1484 nations, G2532 and G1289 to scatter G1473 them G1722 in G3588 the G5561 places;

24 G446.2 because G3588 G1345 [³my ordinances G1473 G3756 ¹they did not G4160 ²observe], G2532 and G3588 G4366.2 [²my orders G1473 G683 ¹they thrusted away], G2532 and G3588 G4521 [²my Sabbaths G1473 G953 ¹profaned], G2532 and G3694 [³after G3588 ⁴the G1760.1 ⁵thoughts G3588 G3962 ⁶of their fathers G1473 G1510.7.6 ²were G3588 G3788 ¹their eyes].

25 G2532 And G1473 I G1325 gave G1473 them up to G4366.2 orders G3756 that were not G2570 good, G2532 and G1345 ordinances G1722 in G3739 which G3756 they shall not G2198 live G1722 by G1473 them.

26 G2532 And G3392 I will defile G1473 them G1722 in G3588 G1378 their decrees G1473 G1722 in G3588 G1279 my traveling by G1473 G3956 every one G1272 opening wide G3388 the womb, G3704 so that G853 I should obliterate G1473 them, G2443 that G1097 thay shall know G3754 that G1473 I am G2962 the lord .

27 G1223 On account of G3778 this, G2980 speak G4314 to G3588 the G3624 house G3588 G* of Israel, G5207 O son G444 of man! G2532 And G2046 you shall say G4314 to G1473 them, G3592 Thus G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord; G2193 Until G3778 this time G3949 [²provoked me to anger G1473 G3588 G3962 ¹your fathers] G1473 G1722 in G3588 G3900 their transgressions, G1473 G1722 in G3739 which G3895 they fell G1519 against G1473 me.

28 G2532 And G1521 I brought them G1473 G1519 into G3588 the G1093 land G3739 which G142 I lifted up G3588 G5495 my hand G1473 G3588 G1325 to give G1473 it G1473 to them. G2532 And G1492 they beheld G3956 every G1015 [²hill G5308 ¹high], G2532 and G3956 every G3586 [²tree G2683.1 ¹shady]. G2532 And G2380 they sacrificed G1563 there G3588 to G2316 their gods. G1473 G2532 And G5021 they arranged G1563 there G3709 the wrath G3588 of the G1435 gift offerings . G2532 And G5021 they arranged G1563 there G3744 a scent G2175 of their pleasant aroma offering . G1473 G2532 And G4689 they offered a libation G1563 there G4700.2 of their libation offerings . G1473

29 G2532 And G2036 I said G4314 to G1473 them, G5100 What G1510.2.3 is G* Abama, G3754 that G1473 you G1531 enter G1563 there? G2532 And G1941 they called upon G3588 G3686 its name, G1473 G* Abama, G2193 until G3588 G4594 today's G2250 day.

30 G1223 On account of G3778 this, G2036 say G4314 to G3588 the G3624 house G3588 G* of Israel! G3592 Thus G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord; G1487 Shall G1722 [³in G3588 ⁴the G458 ⁵lawless deeds G3588 G3962 ⁶of your fathers G1473 G1473 ¹you G3392 ²defile yourselves]? G2532 and G3694 [³after G3588 G946 ⁴their abominations G1473 G1473 ¹do you G1608 ²fornicate]?

31 G2532 And G1722 in G3588 the G536 first-fruits G3588 G1390 of your gifts, G1473 G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G873.2 your offerings, G1473 G1722 in G3588 the G1236 passing through G3588 G5043 your children G1473 G1722 in G4442 fire, G1473 you G3392 defiled yourselves G1722 in G3956 all G3588 G1760.1 your thoughts G1473 G2193 until G3588 G4594 today's G2250 day. G2532 And G1473 shall I G611 answer G1473 you, G3624 O house G3588 G* of Israel, no . G2198 As I live, G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord, G1487 Shall G611 I answer G1473 you, G2532 and G1487 shall G305 [²ascend G1909 ³upon G3588 G4151 ⁴your spirit G1473 G3778 ¹this thing], no.

32 G2532 And G3756 it will not be G1510.8.3 G3739 in which G5158 manner G1473 that you G3004 say, G1510.8.4 We will be G5613 as G3588 the G1484 nations, G2532 and G5613 as G3588 the G5443 tribes G3588 of the G1093 earth, G3588 G3000 to serve G3586 wood G2532 and G3037 stone idols .

33 G1223 On account of G3778 this, G2198 as I live, G1473 G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord, G1722 with G5495 [²hand G2900 ¹a fortified] G2532 and G1722 with G1023 [²arm G5308 ¹a high], G2532 and G1722 with G2372 rage G5502.4 being poured forth, G936 I will reign G1909 over G1473 you.

34 G2532 And G1806 I will lead you G1473 G1537 from out of G3588 the G2992 peoples, G2532 and G1523 I will take G1473 you G1537 from out of G3588 the G5561 places G3739 of which G1287 you were dispersed G1722 in G1473 them, G1722 with G5495 [²hand G2900 ¹a fortified] G2532 and G1722 with G1023 [²arm G5308 ¹a high], G2532 and G1722 with G2372 rage G5502.4 being poured forth.

35 G2532 And G71 I will lead G1473 you G1519 into G3588 the G2048 wilderness G3588 of the G2992 peoples, G2532 and G1252 I will litigate G4314 for G1473 you G1563 there G4383 face G2596 to G4383 face.

36 G3739 In which G5158 manner G1252 I litigated G4314 for G3588 G3962 your fathers G1473 G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness G1093 of the land G* of Egypt, G3779 so G2919 will I judge G1473 you, G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord .

37 G2532 And G1236 I will lead G1473 you G5259 by G3588 G4464 my rod, G1473 G2532 and G1521 I will bring G1473 you G1722 in G706 by number.

38 G2532 And G1586 I shall choose G1537 from G1473 you G3588 the G765 impious, G2532 and G3588 the ones G868 revolting; G1360 because G1537 [³from out of G3588 G3938.1 ⁴their sojourning G1806 ¹I will lead G1473 ²them], G2532 and G1519 [³into G3588 ⁴the G1093 ⁵land G3588 G* ⁶of Israel G3756 ¹they shall not G1525 ²enter]. G2532 And G1921 you shall realize G1360 that G1473 I am G2962 the lord .

39 G2532 And G1473 to you, G3624 O house G* of Israel, G3592 thus G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord; G1538 [²each G3588 G2006.1 ⁴his evil practices G1473 G1808 ¹Let ³remove]! G2532 And G3326 after G3778 these things, G1487 if G1473 you G1522 listen to G1473 me, G2532 and G3588 G3686 [⁵name G1473 ³my G3588 G39 ⁴holy G3756 ¹shall not G953 ²profane] G3765 any longer G1722 by G3588 G1435 your gifts, G1473 G2532 and G1722 by G3588 G2006.1 your practices, G1473

40 G1360 that G1909 upon G3588 G3735 [³mountain G1473 ¹my G3588 G39 ²holy], G1909 upon G3735 [²mountain G5308 ¹ the high] G* of Israel, G3004 says G* Adonai G2962 the lord, G1563 there G1398 [⁴shall serve G1473 ⁵to me G3956 ¹all G3624 ² the house G* ³of Israel] G1519 unto G5056 the end G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 land. G2532 And G1563 there G4327 I will favorably receive G1473 them, G2532 and G1563 there G1980 I shall watch G3588 G536 your first-fruits, G1473 G2532 and G3588 the G536 first-fruits G3588 G873.2 of your offerings G1473 G1722 in G3956 all G3588 G37.1 your sanctified things . G1473

41 G1722 In G3744 a scent G2175 of pleasant aroma G4327 I will favorably receive G1473 you, G1722 in G3588 G1806 my leading G1473 G1473 you G1537 from out of G3588 the G2992 peoples, G2532 and G1523 to take G1473 you G1537 from out of G3588 the G5561 places G1722 in G3739 which G1287 you were dispersed G1722 in G1473 them. G2532 And G37 I shall be sanctified G1722 in G1473 you G2596 before G3788 the eyes G3588 of the G2992 peoples.

42 G2532 And G1921 you shall realize G1360 that G1473 I am G2962 the lord, G1722 in G3588 G1521 my bringing G1473 G1473 you G1519 into G3588 the G1093 land G3588 G* of Israel, G1519 into G3739 which G142 I lifted G3588 G5495 my hand G1473 G3588 G1325 to give G1473 it G3588 to G3962 your fathers. G1473
