KJV

1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ year,⁸¹⁴¹ in the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ month, the tenth⁶²¹⁸ day of the month,²³²⁰ that certain³⁷⁶ of the elders^{4480 2205} of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ to inquire^{1875 853} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and sat³⁴²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me.

2  Then came¹⁹⁶¹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

3  Son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ speak^{1696 853} unto the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ Are ye⁸⁵⁹ come⁹³⁵ to inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of me? As I⁵⁸⁹ live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ I will not⁵¹⁸ be inquired¹⁸⁷⁵ of by you.

4  Wilt thou judge⁸¹⁹⁹ them, son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ wilt thou judge⁸¹⁹⁹ them? cause them to know^{3045 853} the abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ of their fathers:¹

5  And say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ In the day³¹¹⁷ when I chose⁹⁷⁷ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ mine hand³⁰²⁷ unto the seed²²³³ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and made myself known³⁰⁴⁵ unto them in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ when I lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ mine hand³⁰²⁷ unto them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God;⁴³⁰

6  In the day³¹¹⁷ that I lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ mine hand³⁰²⁷ unto them, to bring them forth³³¹⁸ of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ into⁴¹³ a land⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ I had espied⁸⁴⁴⁶ for them, flowing²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ which¹⁹³¹ is the glory⁶⁶⁴³ of all³⁶⁰⁵ lands:⁷⁷⁶

7  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I unto⁴¹³ them, Cast ye away⁷⁹⁹³ every man³⁷⁶ the abominations⁸²⁵¹ of his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and defile not yourselves^{2930 408} with the idols¹⁵⁴⁴ of Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God.⁴³⁰

8  But they rebelled⁴⁷⁸⁴ against me, and would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ me: they did not³⁸⁰⁸ every man³⁷⁶ cast away^{7993 853} the abominations⁸²⁵¹ of their eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ did they forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ the idols¹⁵⁴⁴ of Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ then I said,⁵⁵⁹ I will pour out⁸²¹⁰ my fury²⁵³⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ them, to accomplish³⁶¹⁵ my anger⁶³⁹ against them in the midst⁸⁴³² of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

9  But I wrought⁶²¹³ for my name's sake,^{4616 8034} that it should not¹¹¹⁵ be polluted²⁴⁹⁰ before⁵⁸⁶⁹ the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ among⁸⁴³² whom⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² were, in whose⁸³⁴ sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ I made myself known³⁰⁴⁵ unto⁴¹³ them, in bringing them forth³³¹⁸ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

10  Wherefore I caused them to go³³¹⁸ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and brought⁹³⁵ them into⁴¹³ the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

11  And I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them ⁸⁵³ my statutes,²⁷⁰⁸ and showed³⁰⁴⁵ them my judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ if a man¹²⁰ do,^{6213 853} he shall even live²⁴²¹ in them.

12  Moreover also¹⁵⁷¹ I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them ⁸⁵³ my sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ to be¹⁹⁶¹ a sign²²⁶ between⁹⁹⁶ me and them, that they might know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that sanctify⁶⁹⁴² them.

13  But the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ rebelled⁴⁷⁸⁴ against me in the wilderness:⁴⁰⁵⁷ they walked¹⁹⁸⁰ not³⁸⁰⁸ in my statutes,²⁷⁰⁸ and they despised³⁹⁸⁸ my judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ if a man¹²⁰ do,^{6213 853} he shall even live²⁴²¹ in them; and my sabbaths⁷⁶⁷⁶ they greatly³⁹⁶⁶ polluted:²⁴⁹⁰ then I said,⁵⁵⁹ I would pour out⁸²¹⁰ my fury²⁵³⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ them in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ to consume³⁶¹⁵ them.

14  But I wrought⁶²¹³ for my name's sake,^{4616 8034} that it should not¹¹¹⁵ be polluted²⁴⁹⁰ before⁵⁸⁶⁹ the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ in whose⁸³⁴ sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ I brought them out.³³¹⁸

15  Yet also¹⁵⁷¹ I⁵⁸⁹ lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ my hand³⁰²⁷ unto them in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ that I would not¹¹¹⁵ bring⁹³⁵ them into⁴¹³ the land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ I had given⁵⁴¹⁴ them, flowing²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ which¹⁹³¹ is the glory⁶⁶⁴³ of all³⁶⁰⁵ lands;⁷⁷⁶

16  Because³²⁸² they despised³⁹⁸⁸ my judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ not³⁸⁰⁸ in my statutes,²⁷⁰⁸ but polluted²⁴⁹⁰ my sabbaths:⁷⁶⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ their heart³⁸²⁰ went¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ their idols.¹⁵⁴⁴

17  Nevertheless mine eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ spared^{2347 5921} them from destroying^{4480 7843} them, neither³⁸⁰⁸ did I make⁶²¹³ an end³⁶¹⁷ of them in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

18  But I said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ their children¹¹²¹ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ Walk¹⁹⁸⁰ ye not⁴⁰⁸ in the statutes²⁷⁰⁶ of your fathers,¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ observe⁸¹⁰⁴ their judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ nor⁴⁰⁸ defile yourselves²⁹³⁰ with their idols:¹⁵⁴⁴

19  I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God;⁴³⁰ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in my statutes,²⁷⁰⁸ and keep⁸¹⁰⁴ my judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ and do⁶²¹³ them;

20  And hallow⁶⁹⁴² my sabbaths;⁷⁶⁷⁶ and they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a sign²²⁶ between⁹⁹⁶ me and you, that ye may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God.⁴³⁰

21  Notwithstanding the children¹¹²¹ rebelled⁴⁷⁸⁴ against me: they walked¹⁹⁸⁰ not³⁸⁰⁸ in my statutes,²⁷⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ kept⁸¹⁰⁴ my judgments⁴⁹⁴¹ to do⁶²¹³ them, which⁸³⁴ if a man¹²⁰ do,^{6213 853} he shall even live²⁴²¹ in them; they polluted^{2490 853} my sabbaths:⁷⁶⁷⁶ then I said,⁵⁵⁹ I would pour out⁸²¹⁰ my fury²⁵³⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ them, to accomplish³⁶¹⁵ my anger⁶³⁹ against them in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

22  Nevertheless I withdrew^{7725 853} mine hand,³⁰²⁷ and wrought⁶²¹³ for my name's sake,^{4616 8034} that it should not¹¹¹⁵ be polluted²⁴⁹⁰ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ in whose⁸³⁴ sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ I brought them forth.^{3318 853}

23  I⁵⁸⁹ lifted up^{5375 853} mine hand³⁰²⁷ unto them also¹⁵⁷¹ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ that I would scatter⁶³²⁷ them among the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ and disperse²²¹⁹ them through the countries;⁷⁷⁶

24  Because³²⁸² they had not³⁸⁰⁸ executed⁶²¹³ my judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ but had despised³⁹⁸⁸ my statutes,²⁷⁰⁸ and had polluted²⁴⁹⁰ my sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and their eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ were¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ their fathers'¹ idols.¹⁵⁴⁴

25  Wherefore I⁵⁸⁹ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them also¹⁵⁷¹ statutes²⁷⁰⁶ that were not³⁸⁰⁸ good,²⁸⁹⁶ and judgments⁴⁹⁴¹ whereby they should not³⁸⁰⁸ live;²⁴²¹

26  And I polluted²⁹³⁰ them in their own gifts,⁴⁹⁷⁹ in that they caused to pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ the fire all³⁶⁰⁵ that openeth⁶³⁶³ the womb,⁷³⁵⁶ that⁴⁶¹⁶ I might make them desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁴ to the end⁴⁶¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ they might know³⁰⁴⁵ that⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

27  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ Yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ in this²⁰⁶³ your fathers¹ have blasphemed¹⁴⁴² me, in that they have committed⁴⁶⁰³ a trespass⁴⁶⁰⁴ against me.

28  For when I had brought⁹³⁵ them into⁴¹³ the land,⁷⁷⁶ for the which⁸³⁴ I lifted up^{5375 853} mine hand³⁰²⁷ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ it to them, then they saw⁷²⁰⁰ every³⁶⁰⁵ high⁷³¹¹ hill,¹³⁸⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the thick⁵⁶⁸⁷ trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and they offered²⁰⁷⁶ there^{8033 853} their sacrifices,²⁰⁷⁷ and there⁸⁰³³ they presented⁵⁴¹⁴ the provocation³⁷⁰⁸ of their offering:⁷¹³³ there⁸⁰³³ also they made⁷⁷⁶⁰ their sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savor,⁷³⁸¹ and poured out⁵²⁵⁸ there^{8033 853} their drink offerings.⁵²⁶²

29  Then I said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, What⁴¹⁰⁰ is the high place¹¹¹⁶ whereunto^{834 8033} ye⁸⁵⁹ go?⁹³⁵ And the name⁸⁰³⁴ thereof is called⁷¹²¹ Bamah¹¹¹⁷ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

30  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ Are ye⁸⁵⁹ polluted²⁹³⁰ after the manner¹⁸⁷⁰ of your fathers?¹ and commit ye whoredom^{2181 859} after³¹⁰ their abominations?⁸²⁵¹

31  For when ye offer⁵³⁷⁵ your gifts,⁴⁹⁷⁹ when ye make your sons¹¹²¹ to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through the fire,⁷⁸⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ pollute yourselves²⁹³⁰ with all³⁶⁰⁵ your idols,¹⁵⁴⁴ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this day:³¹¹⁷ and shall I⁵⁸⁹ be inquired of¹⁸⁷⁵ by you, O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ As I⁵⁸⁹ live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ I will not⁵¹⁸ be inquired of¹⁸⁷⁵ by you.

32  And that which cometh⁵⁹²⁷ into⁵⁹²¹ your mind⁷³⁰⁷ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be at all,^{1961 1961} that⁸³⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ say,⁵⁵⁹ We will be¹⁹⁶¹ as the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ as the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the countries,⁷⁷⁶ to serve⁸³³⁴ wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ and stone.⁶⁸

33  As I⁵⁸⁹ live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ surely^{518 3808} with a mighty²³⁸⁹ hand,³⁰²⁷ and with a stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ arm,²²²⁰ and with fury²⁵³⁴ poured out,⁸²¹⁰ will I rule⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ you:

34  And I will bring you out^{3318 853} from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and will gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ you out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the countries⁷⁷⁶ wherein⁸³⁴ ye are scattered,⁶³²⁷ with a mighty²³⁸⁹ hand,³⁰²⁷ and with a stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ arm,²²²⁰ and with fury²⁵³⁴ poured out.⁸²¹⁰

35  And I will bring⁹³⁵ you into⁴¹³ the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and there⁸⁰³³ will I plead⁸¹⁹⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ you face⁶⁴⁴⁰ to⁴¹³ face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

36  Like as⁸³⁴ I pleaded⁸¹⁹⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ your fathers¹ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ so³⁶⁵¹ will I plead⁸¹⁹⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ you, saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD.³⁰⁶⁹

37  And I will cause you to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ the rod,⁷⁶²⁶ and I will bring⁹³⁵ you into the bond⁴⁵⁶² of the covenant:¹²⁸⁵

38  And I will purge out¹³⁰⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ among you the rebels,⁴⁷⁷⁵ and them that transgress⁶⁵⁸⁶ against me: I will bring them forth^{3318 853} out of the country^{4480 776} where they sojourn,⁴⁰³³ and they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ enter⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the land¹²⁷ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and ye shall know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

39  As for you,⁸⁵⁹ O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ ye, serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ ye every one³⁷⁶ his idols,¹⁵⁴⁴ and hereafter³¹⁰ also, if⁵¹⁸ ye will not³⁶⁹ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ me: but pollute²⁴⁹⁰ ye my holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ name⁸⁰³⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ with your gifts,⁴⁹⁷⁹ and with your idols.¹⁵⁴⁴

40  For³⁵⁸⁸ in mine holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ mountain,²⁰²² in the mountain²⁰²² of the height⁴⁷⁹¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ there⁸⁰³³ shall all³⁶⁰⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ of them in the land,⁷⁷⁶ serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ me: there⁸⁰³³ will I accept⁷⁵²¹ them, and there⁸⁰³³ will I require^{1875 853} your offerings,⁸⁶⁴¹ and the firstfruits⁷²²⁵ of your oblations,⁴⁸⁶⁴ with all³⁶⁰⁵ your holy things.⁶⁹⁴⁴

41  I will accept⁷⁵²¹ you with your sweet⁵²⁰⁷ savor,⁷³⁸¹ when I bring you out^{3318 853} from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ you out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the countries⁷⁷⁶ wherein⁸³⁴ ye have been scattered;⁶³²⁷ and I will be sanctified⁶⁹⁴² in you before⁵⁸⁶⁹ the heathen.¹⁴⁷¹

42  And ye shall know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when I shall bring⁹³⁵ you into⁴¹³ the land¹²⁷ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ into⁴¹³ the country⁷⁷⁶ for the which⁸³⁴ I lifted up^{5375 853} mine hand³⁰²⁷ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ it to your fathers.¹

43  And there⁸⁰³³ shall ye remember^{2142 853} your ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ your doings,⁵⁹⁴⁹ wherein⁸³⁴ ye have been defiled;²⁹³⁰ and ye shall loathe yourselves⁶⁹⁶² in your own sight⁶⁴⁴⁰ for all³⁶⁰⁵ your evils⁷⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ ye have committed.⁶²¹³

44  And ye shall know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when I have wrought⁶²¹³ with⁸⁵⁴ you for my name's sake,^{4616 8034} not³⁸⁰⁸ according to your wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ nor according to your corrupt⁷⁸⁴³ doings,⁵⁹⁴⁹ O ye house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD.³⁰⁶⁹

45  Moreover the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

46  Son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ set⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy face⁶⁴⁴⁰ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ the south,⁸⁴⁸⁶ and drop⁵¹⁹⁷ thy word toward⁴¹³ the south,¹⁸⁶⁴ and prophesy⁵⁰¹² against⁴¹³ the forest³²⁹³ of the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ field;⁷⁷⁰⁴

47  And say⁵⁵⁹ to the forest³²⁹³ of the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will kindle³³⁴¹ a fire⁷⁸⁴ in thee, and it shall devour³⁹⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ green³⁸⁹² tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ in thee, and every³⁶⁰⁵ dry³⁰⁰² tree:⁶⁰⁸⁶ the flaming³⁸⁵² flame⁷⁹⁵⁷ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be quenched,³⁵¹⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ from the south^{4480 5045} to the north⁶⁸²⁸ shall be burned⁶⁸⁶⁶ therein.

48  And all³⁶⁰⁵ flesh¹³²⁰ shall see⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ have kindled¹¹⁹⁷ it: it shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be quenched.³⁵¹⁸

49  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, Ah¹⁶² Lord¹³⁶ GOD!³⁰⁶⁹ they¹⁹⁹² say⁵⁵⁹ of me, Doth he¹⁹³¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ speak⁴⁹¹¹ parables?⁴⁹¹²

1 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ μηνὶ δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἦλθον ἄνδρες ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οἴκου Ισραηλ ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐκάθισαν πρὸ προσώπου μου

2 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

3 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λάλησον πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος εἰ ἐπερωτῆσαί με ὑμεῖς ἔρχεσθε ζῶ ἐγὼ εἰ ἀποκριθήσομαι ὑμῖν λέγει κύριος

4 εἰ ἐκδικήσω αὐτοὺς ἐκδικήσει υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου τὰς ἀνομίας τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν διαμάρτυραι αὐτοῖς

5 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἡμέρας ᾑρέτισα τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ καὶ ἐγνωρίσθην τῷ σπέρματι οἴκου Ιακωβ καὶ ἐγνώσθην αὐτοῖς ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀντελαβόμην τῇ χειρί μου αὐτῶν λέγων ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

6 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀντελαβόμην τῇ χειρί μου αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἡτοίμασα αὐτοῖς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι κηρίον ἐστὶν παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν

7 καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς ἕκαστος τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ ἀπορριψάτω καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν Αἰγύπτου μὴ μιαίνεσθε ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

8 καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν εἰσακοῦσαί μου τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπέρριψαν καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα Αἰγύπτου οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπον καὶ εἶπα τοῦ ἐκχέαι τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς τοῦ συντελέσαι τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν μέσῳ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

9 καὶ ἐποίησα ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ παράπαν μὴ βεβηλωθῇ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν αὐτοί εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐν οἷς ἐγνώσθην πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

10 καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον

11 καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἐγνώρισα αὐτοῖς ὅσα ποιήσει αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς

12 καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς τοῦ εἶναι εἰς σημεῖον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν τοῦ γνῶναι αὐτοὺς διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς

13 καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασίν μου πορεύεσθε καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἀπώσαντο ἃ ποιήσει αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλωσαν σφόδρα καὶ εἶπα τοῦ ἐκχέαι τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτούς

14 καὶ ἐποίησα ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ παράπαν μὴ βεβηλωθῇ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν

15 καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξῆρα τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τὸ παράπαν τοῦ μὴ εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι κηρίον ἐστὶν παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν

16 ἀνθ᾽ ὧν τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἀπώσαντο καὶ ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασίν μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο

17 καὶ ἐφείσατο ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς τοῦ ἐξαλεῖψαι αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησα αὐτοὺς εἰς συντέλειαν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ

18 καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν τοῖς νομίμοις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν μὴ πορεύεσθε καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτῶν μὴ φυλάσσεσθε καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν μὴ συναναμίσγεσθε καὶ μὴ μιαίνεσθε

19 ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασίν μου πορεύεσθε καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου φυλάσσεσθε καὶ ποιεῖτε αὐτὰ

20 καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἁγιάζετε καὶ ἔστω εἰς σημεῖον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν τοῦ γινώσκειν διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

21 καὶ παρεπίκρανάν με καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασίν μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο τοῦ ποιεῖν αὐτά ἃ ποιήσει ἄνθρωπος καὶ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν καὶ εἶπα τοῦ ἐκχέαι τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ συντελέσαι τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς

22 καὶ ἐποίησα ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ παράπαν μὴ βεβηλωθῇ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν

23 καὶ ἐξῆρα τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ διασκορπίσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ διασπεῖραι αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις

24 ἀνθ᾽ ὧν τὰ δικαιώματά μου οὐκ ἐποίησαν καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου ἀπώσαντο καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἦσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν

25 καὶ ἐγὼ ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς προστάγματα οὐ καλὰ καὶ δικαιώματα ἐν οἷς οὐ ζήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς

26 καὶ μιανῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς δόμασιν αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ διαπορεύεσθαί με πᾶν διανοῖγον μήτραν ὅπως ἀφανίσω αὐτούς

27 διὰ τοῦτο λάλησον πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ισραηλ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς τάδε λέγει κύριος ἕως τούτου παρώργισάν με οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς παραπτώμασιν αὐτῶν ἐν οἷς παρέπεσον εἰς ἐμέ

28 καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἦρα τὴν χεῖρά μου τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶδον πᾶν βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν καὶ πᾶν ξύλον κατάσκιον καὶ ἔθυσαν ἐκεῖ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔταξαν ἐκεῖ ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας καὶ ἔσπεισαν ἐκεῖ σπονδὰς αὐτῶν

29 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτούς τί ἐστιν Αβαμα ὅτι ὑμεῖς εἰσπορεύεσθε ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐπεκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Αβαμα ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

30 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Ισραηλ τάδε λέγει κύριος εἰ ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ὑμεῖς μιαίνεσθε καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν βδελυγμάτων αὐτῶν ὑμεῖς ἐκπορνεύετε

31 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀπαρχαῖς τῶν δομάτων ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ἀφορισμοῖς ὑμεῖς μιαίνεσθε ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν ὑμῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας καὶ ἐγὼ ἀποκριθῶ ὑμῖν οἶκος τοῦ Ισραηλ ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος εἰ ἀποκριθήσομαι ὑμῖν καὶ εἰ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ὑμῶν τοῦτο

32 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ὑμεῖς λέγετε ἐσόμεθα ὡς τὰ ἔθνη καὶ ὡς αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ λατρεύειν ξύλοις καὶ λίθοις

33 διὰ τοῦτο ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ καὶ ἐν θυμῷ κεχυμένῳ βασιλεύσω ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς

34 καὶ ἐξάξω ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν λαῶν καὶ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν οὗ διεσκορπίσθητε ἐν αὐταῖς ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ καὶ ἐν θυμῷ κεχυμένῳ

35 καὶ ἄξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον τῶν λαῶν καὶ διακριθήσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐκεῖ πρόσωπον κατὰ πρόσωπον

36 ὃν τρόπον διεκρίθην πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ γῆς Αἰγύπτου οὕτως κρινῶ ὑμᾶς λέγει κύριος

37 καὶ διάξω ὑμᾶς ὑπὸ τὴν ῥάβδον μου καὶ εἰσάξω ὑμᾶς ἐν ἀριθμῷ

38 καὶ ἐκλέξω ἐξ ὑμῶν τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀφεστηκότας διότι ἐκ τῆς παροικεσίας αὐτῶν ἐξάξω αὐτούς καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ισραηλ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος

39 καὶ ὑμεῖς οἶκος Ισραηλ τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος ἕκαστος τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ ἐξάρατε καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰ μὴ ὑμεῖς εἰσακούετέ μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ ἅγιον οὐ βεβηλώσετε οὐκέτι ἐν τοῖς δώροις ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν ὑμῶν

40 διότι ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ ἁγίου μου ἐπ᾽ ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ λέγει κύριος κύριος ἐκεῖ δουλεύσουσίν μοι πᾶς οἶκος Ισραηλ εἰς τέλος καὶ ἐκεῖ προσδέξομαι καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐπισκέψομαι τὰς ἀπαρχὰς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν ἀφορισμῶν ὑμῶν ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγιάσμασιν ὑμῶν

41 ἐν ὀσμῇ εὐωδίας προσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν με ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν λαῶν καὶ εἰσδέχεσθαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν ἐν αἷς διεσκορπίσθητε ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν ὑμῖν κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν λαῶν

42 καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ἐν τῷ εἰσαγαγεῖν με ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ισραηλ εἰς τὴν γῆν εἰς ἣν ἦρα τὴν χεῖρά μου τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτὴν τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν

43 καὶ μνησθήσεσθε ἐκεῖ τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν ἐν οἷς ἐμιαίνεσθε ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ κόψεσθε τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν ἐν πᾶσαις ταῖς κακίαις ὑμῶν

44 καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ κύριος ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί με οὕτως ὑμῖν ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου μὴ βεβηλωθῇ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν τὰς κακὰς καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν τὰ διεφθαρμένα λέγει κύριος

Vul

1 Et factum est in anno septimo, in quinto, in decima mensis, venerunt viri de senioribus Israël ut interrogarent Dominum, et sederunt coram me.

2 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

3 Fili hominis, loquere senioribus Israël, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid ad interrogandum me vos venistis? vivo ego quia non respondebo vobis, ait Dominus Deus.

4 Si judicas eos, si judicas, fili hominis, abominationes patrum eorum ostende eis.

5 Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In die qua elegi Israël, et levavi manum meam pro stirpe domus Jacob, et apparui eis in terra Ægypti, et levavi manum meam pro eis, dicens: Ego Dominus Deus vester:

6 in die illa levavi manum meam pro eis ut educerem eos de terra Ægypti, in terram quam provideram eis, fluentem lacte et melle, quæ est egregia inter omnes terras.

7 Et dixi ad eos: Unusquisque offensiones oculorum suorum abjiciat, et in idolis Ægypti nolite pollui: ego Dominus Deus vester.

8 Et irritaverunt me, nolueruntque me audire: unusquisque abominationes oculorum suorum non projecit, nec idola Ægypti reliquerunt. Et dixi ut effunderem indignationem meam super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis, in medio terræ Ægypti.

9 Et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram gentibus in quarum medio erant, et inter quas apparui eis ut educerem eos de terra Ægypti.

10 Ejeci ergo eos de terra Ægypti, et eduxi eos in desertum.

11 Et dedi eis præcepta mea, et judicia mea ostendi eis, quæ faciens homo vivet in eis.

12 Insuper et sabbata mea dedi eis, ut essent signum inter me et eos, et scirent quia ego Dominus sanctificans eos.

13 Et irritaverunt me domus Israël in deserto: in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et judicia mea projecerunt, quæ faciens homo vivet in eis, et sabbata mea violaverunt vehementer. Dixi ergo ut effunderem furorem meum super eos in deserto, et consumerem eos:

14 et feci propter nomen meum, ne violaretur coram gentibus de quibus ejeci eos in conspectu earum.

15 Ego igitur levavi manum meam super eos in deserto, ne inducerem eos in terram quam dedi eis, fluentem lacte et melle, præcipuam terrarum omnium:

16 quia judicia mea projecerunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et sabbata mea violaverunt: post idola enim cor eorum gradiebatur.

17 Et pepercit oculus meus super eos, ut non interficerem eos: nec consumpsi eos in deserto.

18 Dixi autem ad filios eorum in solitudine: In præceptis patrum vestrorum nolite incedere, nec judicia eorum custodiatis, nec in idolis eorum polluamini.

19 Ego Dominus Deus vester: in præceptis meis ambulate: judicia mea custodite, et facite ea,

20 et sabbata mea sanctificate, ut sint signum inter me et vos, et sciatis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.

21 Et exacerbaverunt me filii: in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et judicia mea non custodierunt ut facerent ea, quæ cum fecerit homo, vivet in eis, et sabbata mea violaverunt. Et comminatus sum ut effunderem furorem meum super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis in deserto.

22 Averti autem manum meam, et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram gentibus de quibus ejeci eos in oculis earum.

23 Iterum levavi manum meam in eos in solitudine, ut dispergerem illos in nationes, et ventilarem in terras,

24 eo quod judicia mea non fecissent, et præcepta mea reprobassent, et sabbata mea violassent, et post idola patrum suorum fuissent oculi eorum.

25 Ergo et ego dedi eis præcepta non bona, et judicia in quibus non vivent.

26 Et pollui eos in muneribus suis, cum offerrent omne quod aperit vulvam, propter delicta sua: et scient quia ego Dominus.

27 Quam ob rem loquere ad domum Israël, fili hominis, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc et in hoc blasphemaverunt me patres vestri, cum sprevissent me contemnentes,

28 et induxissem eos in terram super quam levavi manum meam ut darem eis: viderunt omnem collem excelsum, et omne lignum nemorosum, et immolaverunt ibi victimas suas, et dederunt ibi irritationem oblationis suæ, et posuerunt ibi odorem suavitatis suæ, et libaverunt libationes suas.

29 Et dixi ad eos: Quid est excelsum, ad quod vos ingredimini? et vocatum est nomen ejus Excelsum usque ad hanc diem.

30 Propterea dic ad domum Israël: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Certe in via patrum vestrorum vos polluimini, et post offendicula eorum vos fornicamini:

31 et in oblatione donorum vestrorum, cum traducitis filios vestros per ignem, vos polluimini in omnibus idolis vestris usque hodie: et ego respondebo vobis, domus Israël? Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non respondebo vobis.

32 Neque cogitatio mentis vestræ fiet, dicentium: Erimus sicut gentes et sicut cognationes terræ, ut colamus ligna et lapides.

33 Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quoniam in manu forti, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso, regnabo super vos.

34 Et educam vos de populis, et congregabo vos de terris in quibus dispersi estis: in manu valida, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso, regnabo super vos.

35 Et adducam vos in desertum populorum, et judicabor vobiscum ibi facie ad faciem.

36 Sicut judicio contendi adversum patres vestros in deserto terræ Ægypti, sic judicabo vos, dicit Dominus Deus.

37 Et subjiciam vos sceptro meo, et inducam vos in vinculis fœderis.

38 Et eligam de vobis transgressores et impios, et de terra incolatus eorum educam eos, et in terram Israël non ingredientur: et scietis quia ego Dominus.

39 Et vos, domus Israël, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Singuli post idola vestra ambulate, et servite eis. Quod si et in hoc non audieritis me, et nomen meum sanctum pollueritis ultra in muneribus vestris et in idolis vestris:

40 in monte sancto meo, in monte excelso Israël, ait Dominus Deus, ibi serviet mihi omnis domus Israël: omnes, inquam, in terra in qua placebunt mihi: et ibi quæram primitias vestras, et initium decimarum vestrarum, in omnibus sanctificationibus vestris.

41 In odorem suavitatis suscipiam vos, cum eduxero vos de populis, et congregavero vos de terris in quas dispersi estis: et sanctificabor in vobis in oculis nationum.

42 Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum induxero vos ad terram Israël, in terram pro qua levavi manum meam ut darem eam patribus vestris.

43 Et recordabimini ibi viarum vestrarum, et omnium scelerum vestrorum, quibus polluti estis in eis: et displicebitis vobis in conspectu vestro, in omnibus malitiis vestris quas fecistis.

44 Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum benefecero vobis propter nomen meum, et non secundum vias vestras malas, neque secundum scelera vestra pessima, domus Israël, ait Dominus Deus.

45 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

46 [Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra viam austri,
et stilla ad africum,
et propheta ad saltum agri meridiani.

47 Et dices saltui meridiano:
Audi verbum Domini:
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego succendam in te ignem,
et comburam in te omne lignum viride,
et omne lignum aridum:
non extinguetur flamma succensionis:
et comburetur in ea omnis facies
ab austro usque ad aquilonem,

48 et videbit universa caro quia ego Dominus succendi eam,
nec extinguetur.]

49 Et dixi: A, a, a, Domine Deus: ipsi dicunt de me: Numquid non per parabolas loquitur iste?
