20:1 And
it
came
to
passe
in
the
seuenth
yeere,
in
the
fift
moneth,
the
tenth
day
of
the
moneth,
that
certaine
of
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
enquire
of
the
Lord,
and
sate
before
me.
20:2 Then
came
the
word
of
the
Lord
vnto
me,
saying,
20:3 Sonne
of
man,
speake
vnto
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
say
vnto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
Are
yee
come
to
enquire
of
me
As
I
liue,
saith
the
Lord
God,
I
will
not
be
enquired
of
by
you.
20:4 Wilt
thou
iudge
them,
sonne
of
man,
wilt
thou
iudge
them
cause
them
to
know
the
abominations
of
their
fathers:
20:5 And
say
vnto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
In
the
day
when
I
chose
Israel,
and
lifted
vp
mine
hand
vnto
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Iacob,
and
made
my
selfe
knowen
vnto
them
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
when
I
lifted
vp
mine
hand
vnto
them,
saying,
I
am
the
Lord
your
God,
20:6 In
the
day
that
I
lifted
vp
mine
hand
vnto
them
to
bring
them
foorth
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
into
a
lande
that
I
had
espied
for
them,
flowing
with
milke
and
hony,
which
is
the
glory
of
all
lands:
20:7 Then
said
I
vnto
them,
Cast
ye
away
euery
man
the
abominations
of
his
eyes,
and
defile
not
your
selues
with
the
idoles
of
Egypt:
I
am
the
Lord
your
God.
20:8 But
they
rebelled
against
me,
and
would
not
hearken
vnto
mee:
they
did
not
euery
man
cast
away
the
abominations
of
their
eyes,
neither
did
they
forsake
the
idoles
of
Egypt:
then
I
said,
I
will
powre
out
my
furie
vpon
them,
to
accomplish
my
anger
against
them
in
the
middest
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
20:9 But
I
wrought
for
my
names
sake
that
it
should
not
be
polluted
before
the
heathen,
among
whom
they
were,
in
whose
sight
I
made
my
selfe
knowen
vnto
them,
in
bringing
them
foorth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
20:10 Wherefore
I
caused
them
to
goe
foorth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
brought
them
into
the
wildernesse.
20:11 And
I
gaue
them
my
statutes,
and
shewed
them
my
iudgements,
which
if
a
man
doe,
he
shall
euen
liue
in
them.
20:12 Moreouer
also,
I
gaue
them
my
Sabbaths,
to
be
a
signe
betweene
mee
and
them,
that
they
might
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
that
sanctifie
them.
20:13 But
the
house
of
Israel
rebelled
against
me
in
the
wildernesse:
they
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
and
they
despised
my
iudgements,
which
if
a
man
doe,
hee
shall
euen
liue
in
them,
and
my
sabbaths
they
greatly
polluted:
then
I
said
I
would
powre
out
my
furie
vpon
them
in
the
wildernesse,
to
consume
them:
20:14 But
I
wrought
for
my
names
sake,
that
it
should
not
bee
polluted
before
the
heathen,
in
whose
sight
I
brought
them
out.
20:15 Yet
also
I
lifted
vp
my
hand
vnto
them
in
the
wildernesse,
that
I
would
not
bring
them
into
the
land
which
I
had
giuen
them,
flowing
with
milke
and
hony,
which
is
the
glory
of
all
lands,
20:16 Because
they
despised
my
iudgements,
and
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
but
polluted
my
Sabbaths:
for
their
heart
went
after
their
idoles.
20:17 Neuerthelesse,
mine
eye
spared
them
from
destroying
them,
neither
did
I
make
an
end
of
the
in
the
wildernes.
20:18 But
I
said
vnto
their
children
in
the
wildernesse;
Walke
ye
not
in
the
statutes
of
your
fathers,
neither
obserue
their
iudgements,
nor
defile
your
selues
with
their
idoles.
20:19 I
am
the
Lord
your
God:
walke
in
my
statutes,
and
keepe
my
iudgements
and
doe
them:
20:20 And
hallow
my
Sabbaths,
and
they
shall
be
a
signe
betweene
mee
and
you,
that
yee
may
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
your
God.
20:21 Notwithstanding
the
children
rebelled
against
me:
they
walked
not
in
my
statutes,
neither
kept
my
iudgements
to
doe
them,
which
if
a
man
doe,
hee
shall
euen
liue
in
them;
they
polluted
my
Sabbaths:
then
I
said
I
would
powre
out
my
furie
vpon
them,
to
accomplish
my
anger
against
them
in
the
wildernesse.
20:22 Neuerthelesse
I
withdrew
mine
hand
and
wrought
for
my
names
sake,
that
it
should
not
be
polluted
in
the
fight
of
the
heathen,
in
whose
sight
I
brought
them
foorth.
20:23 I
lifted
vp
mine
hand
vnto
them
also
in
the
wildernesse,
that
I
would
scatter
them
among
the
heathen,
and
disperse
them
through
the
countreys;
20:24 Because
they
had
not
executed
my
iudgements,
but
had
despised
my
Statutes,
and
had
polluted
my
Sabbaths,
and
their
eyes
were
after
their
fathers
idoles.
20:25 Wherefore
I
gaue
them
also
statutes
that
were
not
good,
and
iudgements
whereby
they
should
not
liue.
20:26 And
I
polluted
them
in
their
owne
gifts,
in
that
they
caused
to
passe
through
the
fire
all
that
openeth
the
wombe,
that
I
might
make
them
desolate,
to
the
end,
that
they
might
know
that
I
am
the
Lord.
20:27 Therefore
sonne
of
man,
speake
vnto
the
house
of
Israel,
and
say
vnto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
Yet
in
this
your
fathers
haue
blasphemed
me,
in
that
they
haue
committed
a
trespasse
against
me.
20:28 For
when
I
had
brought
them
into
the
land,
for
the
which
I
lifted
vp
mine
hand
to
giue
it
to
them,
then
they
saw
euery
high
hill,
and
all
the
thicke
trees,
and
they
offered
there
their
sacrifices,
and
there
they
presented
the
prouocation
of
their
offering:
there
also
they
made
their
sweet
sauour,
and
powred
out
there
their
drinke
offerings.
20:29 Then
I
said
vnto
them,
What
is
the
high
place
whereunto
ye
goe
and
the
name
thereof
is
called
Bamah
vnto
this
day.
20:30 Wherefore
say
vnto
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
Are
ye
polluted
after
the
maner
of
your
fathers
and
commit
ye
whoredome
after
their
abominations
20:31 For
when
yee
offer
your
gifts,
when
yee
make
your
sonnes
to
passe
through
the
fire,
ye
pollute
your
selues
with
all
your
idoles
euen
vnto
this
day:
and
shall
I
be
inquired
of
by
you,
O
house
of
Israel
As
I
liue,
saith
the
Lord
God,
I
will
not
be
inquired
of
by
you.
20:32 And
that
which
cometh
into
your
minde,
shall
not
be
at
all,
that
ye
say,
We
wil
be
as
the
heathen,
as
the
families
of
the
countreys,
to
serue
wood
and
stone.
20:33 As
I
liue,
sayeth
the
Lord
God,
surely
with
a
mighty
hand,
and
with
a
stretched
out
arme,
and
with
furie
powred
out,
will
I
rule
ouer
you.
20:34 And
I
will
bring
you
out
from
the
people,
and
will
gather
you
out
of
the
countreys
wherein
ye
are
scattered,
with
a
mighty
hand,
&
with
a
stretched
out
arme,
and
with
fury
powred
out.
20:35 And
I
wil
bring
you
into
the
wildernes
of
the
people,
and
there
will
I
plead
with
you
face
to
face.
20:36 Like
as
I
pleaded
with
your
fathers
in
the
wildernes
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
so
wil
I
plead
with
you,
saith
the
Lord
God.
20:37 And
I
will
cause
you
to
passe
vnder
the
rod,
and
I
will
bring
you
into
the
bond
of
the
Couenant.
20:38 And
I
will
purge
out
from
among
you
the
rebels,
and
them
that
transgresse
against
mee:
I
will
bring
them
foorth
out
of
the
countrey
where
they
soiourne,
and
they
shall
not
enter
into
the
land
of
Israel,
and
yee
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord.
20:39 As
for
you,
O
house
of
Israel,
thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
Goe
yee,
serue
ye
euery
one
his
idoles,
and
hereafter
also,
if
ye
wil
not
hearken
vnto
me:
but
pollute
ye
my
holy
Name
no
more
with
your
gifts,
and
with
your
idoles.
20:40 For
in
mine
holy
mountaine,
in
the
mountaine
of
the
height
of
Israel,
saith
the
Lord
God,
there
shall
all
the
house
of
Israel,
all
of
them
in
the
land
serue
me:
there
will
I
accept
them,
and
there
wil
I
require
your
offerings,
and
the
first
fruits
of
your
oblations,
with
all
your
holy
things.
20:41 I
will
accept
you
with
your
sweet
sauour,
when
I
bring
you
out
from
the
people,
and
gather
you
out
of
the
countreys
wherein
yee
haue
bene
scattered,
and
I
wil
be
sanctified
in
you
before
the
heathen.
20:42 And
ye
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
shall
bring
you
into
the
land
of
Israel,
into
the
countrey
for
the
which
I
lifted
vp
mine
hand,
to
giue
it
to
your
fathers.
20:43 And
there
shall
yee
remember
your
wayes,
&
all
your
doings,
wherein
ye
haue
bene
defiled,
and
ye
shal
lothe
your
selues
in
your
owne
sight,
for
all
your
euils
that
ye
haue
committed.
20:44 And
ye
shal
know
that
I
am
the
Lord,
when
I
haue
wrought
with
you
for
my
Names
sake,
not
according
to
your
wicked
wayes,
nor
according
to
your
corrupt
doings,
O
yee
house
of
Israel,
saith
the
Lord
God.
20:45 Moreouer,
the
worde
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
me,
saying,
20:46 Sonne
of
man,
set
thy
face
toward
the
South,
and
drop
thy
word
toward
the
South,
and
prophesie
against
the
forrest
of
the
South
field.
20:47 And
say
to
the
forest
of
ye
South,
Heare
the
word
of
the
Lord:
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God;
Behold,
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
thee,
and
it
shall
deuoure
euery
greene
tree
in
thee,
and
euery
dry
tree:
the
flaming
flame
shal
not
be
quenched,
and
all
faces
from
the
South
to
the
North
shalbe
burnt
therein.
20:48 And
all
flesh
shall
see
that
I
the
Lord
haue
kindled
it:
it
shall
not
be
quenched.
20:49 Then
said
I,
Ah
Lord
God,
they
say
of
me,
Doeth
he
not
speake
parables
