Ezekiel 20:5-32

ECB(i) 5 and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: In the day I chose Yisra El, and lifted my hand to the seed of the house of Yaaqov, and made myself known to them in the land of Misrayim, when I lifted my hand to them, saying, I - Yah Veh your Elohim: 6 the day I lifted my hand to them, to bring them from the land of Misrayim to a land I explored for them - flowing with milk and honey - the splendor of all lands: 7 and I say to them, You, every man cast away the abominations of his eyes and foul not yourselves with the idols of Misrayim: I - Yah Veh your Elohim. 8 And they rebel against me and will to not hearken to me: they - every man neither cast away the abominations of their eyes, nor forsake the idols of Misrayim. And I say, I pour my fury on them to finish off my wrath against them midst the land of Misrayim. 9 And for sake of my name, I work to not profane it in the eyes of the goyim, among whom they are in whose eyes I make myself known to them in bringing them from the land of Misrayim: 10 and I bring them from the land of Misrayim and bring them into the wilderness: 11 and I give them my statutes so that they know my judgments - which, if a human works, he lives in them: 12 and also, I give them my shabbaths, to become a sign between me and between them so that they know that I Yah Veh hallow them. 13 And the house of Yisra El rebels against me in the wilderness: they walk not in my statutes and they spurn my judgments - which, if a human works, he lives in them; and they mightily profane my shabbaths: and I say, I pour my fury on them in the wilderness to consume them. 14 And for sake of my name, I worked to not profane in the eyes of the goyim, in whose eyes I brought them out. 15 And also, I lifted my hand to them in the wilderness, to not bring them into the land I gave them - flowing with milk and honey - the glory of all lands; 16 because they spurned my judgments and walked not in my statutes; and profaned my shabbaths: for their heart went after their idols: 17 and my eye spared them from ruin: and I worked not their final finish in the wilderness. 18 But I say to their sons in the wilderness, Neither walk in the statutes of your fathers nor guard their judgments nor foul yourselves with their idols: 19 I - Yah Veh your Elohim! Walk in my statutes and guard my judgments and work them; 20 and hallow my shabbaths; to become a sign between me and between you, so that you know I - Yah Veh your Elohim. 21 And the sons rebel against me: and they neither walk in my statutes nor guard my judgments to work them - which, if a human works, he lives in them: they profane my shabbaths. And I say, I pour my fury on them to accomplish my wrath against them in the wilderness. 22 I turn my hand, and work for sake of my name, not to profane in the eyes of the goyim, in whose eyes I brought them forth. 23 I also - I lift my hand to them in the wilderness to scatter them among the goyim and winnow them through the lands 24 because they work not my judgments; and despise my statutes and profane my shabbaths: and their eyes are after the idols of their fathers. 25 And I also - I give them statutes - not good and judgments whereby they live not; 26 and I foul them in their own offerings in that they pass through all who burst the womb so that I desolate them so that they know, I - Yah Veh. 27 So, son of humanity, word to the house of Yisra El, and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Yet in this your fathers blasphemed me, in treasoning a treason against me. 28 And I bring them into the land for which I lifted my hand to give it to them, and they see every high hill and all the thick trees; and there they sacrifice their sacrifices, and there they give the vexation of their qorban: there they also set their scent of rest and there they libate their libations. 29 And I say to them, What is the bamah to which you go? - and the name is called Bamah to this day. 30
THE IDOLATRY OF THE HOUSE OF YISRA EL
So say to the house of Yisra El, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Why foul you after the way of your fathers? And whore after their abominations? 31 And when you bear your offerings - when you pass your sons through the fire you foul yourselves with all your idols to this day: and am I inquired of by you, O house of Yisra El? - I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh I am not inquired of by you. 32 And that which ascends into your spirit, saying, We become as the goyim - as the families of the lands to minister timber and stone surely becomes not.
