CLV(i)
18 And I say to their sons in the wilderness:In the statutes of your fathers you walk not, And their judgments you do not observe, And with their idols you are not defiled."
19 I [am] Yahweh your Elohim, in My statutes walk, And My judgments observe, and do them,
20 And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Yahweh, [am] your Elohim."
21 And--the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed--to do them, Which the man who does--lives by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness."
22 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out."
23 I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands."
24 Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been."
25 And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And judgments by which they do not live."
26 And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] Yahweh."
27 Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son of man, and you have said unto them, Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Still in this have your fathers reviled Me, In their committing against Me a trespass."
28 And I bring them in unto the land, That I did lift up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice there their sacrifices, And give there the provocation of their offering, And make there their sweet fragrance, And they pour out there their libations."
29 And I say unto them:What [is] the high place whither you are going in? And its name is called `high place' to this day.
30 Therefore, say unto the house of Israel:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:In the way of your fathers are you defiled? And after their detestable things go a-whoring?
