And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seventh
a
year,
in
the
fifth
month,
the
tenth
day
of
the
month,
that
certain
of
the
b
elders
of
Israel
came
to
inquire
of
the
Lord,
and
sat
before
me.
2 Then
came
the
word
of
the
Lord
unto
me,
saying,
3 Son
of
man,
speak
unto
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
Are
ye
come
to
inquire
of
me?
As
I
live,
saith
the
Lord
God,
I
will
not
be
a
inquired
of
by
you.
4 Wilt
thou
judge
them,
son
of
man,
wilt
thou
judge
them?
cause
them
to
know
the
a
abominations
of
their
fathers:
5 And
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
In
the
day
when
I
a
chose
Israel,
and
b
lifted
up
mine
hand
unto
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Jacob,
and
made
myself
known
unto
them
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
when
I
lifted
up
mine
hand
unto
them,
saying,
I
am
the
c
Lord
your
God;
6 In
the
day
that
I
lifted
up
mine
hand
unto
them,
to
a
bring
them
forth
of
the
land
of
Egypt
into
a
b
land
that
I
had
c
espied
for
them,
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
which
is
the
d
glory
of
all
lands:
7 Then
said
I
unto
them,
a
Cast
ye
away
every
man
the
abominations
of
his
eyes,
and
defile
not
yourselves
with
the
idols
of
Egypt:
I
am
the
Lord
your
God.
8 But
they
rebelled
against
me,
and
would
not
hearken
unto
me:
they
did
not
every
man
cast
away
the
abominations
of
their
eyes,
neither
did
they
forsake
the
idols
of
Egypt:
then
I
said,
I
will
pour
out
my
a
fury
upon
them,
to
accomplish
my
anger
against
them
in
the
midst
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
9 But
I
wrought
for
my
a
name's
sake,
that
it
should
not
be
polluted
before
the
heathen,
among
whom
they
were,
in
whose
sight
I
made
myself
known
unto
them,
in
bringing
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
10 Wherefore
I
a
caused
them
to
go
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
brought
them
into
the
wilderness.
11 And
I
gave
them
my
a
statutes,
and
shewed
them
my
judgments,
which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
even
b
live
in
them.
12 Moreover
also
I
gave
them
my
a
sabbaths,
to
be
a
sign
between
me
and
them,
that
they
might
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
that
b
sanctify
them.
13 But
the
house
of
Israel
a
rebelled
against
me
in
the
wilderness:
they
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
and
they
b
despised
my
judgments,
which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
even
live
in
them;
and
my
sabbaths
they
greatly
polluted:
then
I
said,
I
would
pour
out
my
fury
upon
them
in
the
c
wilderness,
to
consume
them.
14 But
I
wrought
for
my
name's
sake,
that
it
should
not
be
polluted
before
the
heathen,
in
whose
sight
I
brought
them
out.
15 Yet
also
I
lifted
up
my
hand
unto
them
in
the
wilderness,
that
I
would
not
bring
them
into
the
a
land
which
I
had
given
them,
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
which
is
the
glory
of
all
lands;
16 Because
they
despised
my
judgments,
and
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
but
polluted
my
sabbaths:
for
their
a
heart
went
after
their
idols.
17 Nevertheless
mine
eye
a
spared
them
from
destroying
them,
neither
did
I
make
an
end
of
them
in
the
wilderness.
18 But
I
said
unto
their
children
in
the
wilderness,
Walk
ye
not
in
the
statutes
of
your
a
fathers,
neither
observe
their
judgments,
nor
defile
yourselves
with
their
idols:
19 I
am
the
Lord
your
God;
walk
in
my
a
statutes,
and
keep
my
judgments,
and
do
them;
20 And
a
hallow
my
sabbaths;
and
they
shall
be
a
b
sign
between
me
and
you,
that
ye
may
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
your
God.
21 Notwithstanding
the
children
a
rebelled
against
me:
they
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
neither
kept
my
judgments
to
do
them,
which
if
a
man
do,
he
shall
even
live
in
them;
they
polluted
my
sabbaths:
then
I
said,
I
would
pour
out
my
fury
upon
them,
to
accomplish
my
anger
against
them
in
the
wilderness.
22 Nevertheless
I
withdrew
mine
hand,
and
wrought
for
my
name's
sake,
that
it
should
not
be
polluted
in
the
sight
of
the
heathen,
in
whose
sight
I
brought
them
forth.
23 I
lifted
up
mine
hand
unto
them
also
in
the
wilderness,
that
I
would
a
scatter
them
among
the
heathen,
and
disperse
them
through
the
countries;
24 Because
they
had
not
executed
my
judgments,
but
had
despised
my
statutes,
and
had
polluted
my
sabbaths,
and
their
eyes
were
after
their
fathers'
idols.
25 Wherefore
I
gave
them
also
statutes
that
were
not
good,
and
judgments
whereby
they
should
not
live;
26 And
I
polluted
them
in
their
own
gifts,
in
that
they
caused
to
pass
a
through
the
b
fire
all
that
openeth
the
womb,
that
I
might
make
them
desolate,
to
the
c
end
that
they
might
d
know
that
I
am
the
Lord.
27 Therefore,
son
of
man,
speak
unto
the
house
of
Israel,
and
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
Yet
in
this
your
fathers
have
a
blasphemed
me,
in
that
they
have
committed
a
trespass
against
me.
28 For
when
I
had
brought
them
into
the
land,
for
the
which
I
lifted
up
mine
hand
to
give
it
to
them,
then
they
saw
every
high
hill,
and
all
the
thick
trees,
and
they
offered
there
their
sacrifices,
and
there
they
presented
the
provocation
of
their
offering:
there
also
they
made
their
sweet
savour,
and
poured
out
there
their
drink
offerings.
29 Then
I
said
unto
them,
What
is
the
high
place
whereunto
ye
go?
And
the
name
thereof
is
called
Bamah
unto
this
day.
30 Wherefore
say
unto
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
Are
ye
polluted
after
the
manner
of
your
fathers?
and
commit
ye
whoredom
after
their
abominations?
31 For
when
ye
offer
your
gifts,
when
ye
make
your
sons
to
pass
through
the
fire,
ye
pollute
yourselves
with
all
your
idols,
even
unto
this
day:
and
shall
I
be
inquired
of
by
you,
O
house
of
Israel?
As
I
live,
saith
the
Lord
God,
I
will
not
be
inquired
of
by
you.
32 And
that
which
cometh
into
your
a
mind
shall
not
be
at
all,
that
ye
say,
We
will
be
as
the
b
heathen,
as
the
families
of
the
countries,
to
serve
c
wood
and
stone.
33 As
I
live,
saith
the
Lord
God,
surely
with
a
mighty
hand,
and
with
a
stretched
out
arm,
and
with
fury
poured
out,
will
I
rule
over
you:
34 And
I
will
bring
you
out
from
the
people,
and
will
a
gather
you
out
of
the
countries
wherein
ye
are
scattered,
with
a
mighty
hand,
and
with
a
stretched
out
arm,
and
with
fury
poured
out.
35 And
I
will
bring
you
into
the
a
wilderness
of
the
people,
and
there
will
I
b
plead
with
you
c
face
to
face.
36 Like
as
I
pleaded
with
your
fathers
in
the
wilderness
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
so
will
I
plead
with
you,
saith
the
Lord
God.
37 And
I
will
cause
you
a
to
pass
under
the
b
rod,
and
I
will
bring
you
into
the
bond
of
the
c
covenant:
38 And
I
will
a
purge
out
from
among
you
the
b
rebels,
and
them
that
transgress
against
me:
I
will
bring
them
forth
out
of
the
country
where
they
sojourn,
and
they
shall
not
c
enter
into
the
d
land
of
Israel:
and
ye
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord.
39 As
for
you,
O
house
of
Israel,
thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
Go
ye,
serve
ye
every
one
his
idols,
and
hereafter
also,
if
ye
will
not
hearken
unto
me:
but
a
pollute
ye
my
holy
name
no
more
with
your
gifts,
and
with
your
b
idols.
40 For
in
mine
holy
a
mountain,
in
the
mountain
of
the
height
of
Israel,
saith
the
Lord
God,
there
shall
all
the
house
of
b
Israel,
all
of
them
in
the
land,
serve
me:
there
will
I
c
accept
them,
and
there
will
I
require
your
offerings,
and
the
firstfruits
of
your
oblations,
with
all
your
holy
things.
41 I
will
accept
you
with
your
sweet
savour,
when
I
bring
you
out
from
the
people,
and
a
gather
you
out
of
the
countries
wherein
ye
have
been
scattered;
and
I
will
be
b
sanctified
in
you
before
the
heathen.
42 And
ye
shall
a
know
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
shall
bring
you
into
the
land
of
Israel,
into
the
country
for
the
which
I
b
lifted
up
mine
hand
to
give
it
to
your
fathers.
43 And
there
shall
ye
a
remember
your
ways,
and
all
your
doings,
wherein
ye
have
been
defiled;
and
ye
shall
lothe
yourselves
in
your
own
sight
for
all
your
evils
that
ye
have
committed.
44 And
ye
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
have
wrought
with
you
for
my
name's
sake,
not
according
to
your
wicked
ways,
nor
according
to
your
corrupt
doings,
O
ye
house
of
Israel,
saith
the
Lord
God.
45 Moreover
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
unto
me,
saying,
46 Son
of
man,
set
thy
a
face
toward
the
south,
and
b
drop
thy
word
toward
the
south,
and
prophesy
against
the
forest
c
of
the
south
field;
47 And
say
to
the
forest
of
the
south,
Hear
the
word
of
the
Lord;
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
Behold,
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
thee,
and
it
shall
devour
every
green
tree
in
thee,
and
every
dry
tree:
the
flaming
flame
shall
not
be
quenched,
and
all
faces
from
the
south
to
the
north
shall
be
burned
therein.
48 And
all
flesh
shall
see
that
I
the
Lord
have
kindled
it:
it
shall
not
be
quenched.
49 Then
said
I,
Ah
Lord
God!
they
a
say
of
me,
Doth
he
not
speak
parables?
