1 | It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh, and sat before me. | Ezk 1:2 Ezk 8:1 Ezk 24:1 Ezk 26:1 Ezk 29:1 Ezk 29:17 Ezk 30:20 Ezk 31:1 Ezk 32:1 Ezk 40:1 |
2 | The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, |
3 | Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you. | Isa 1:12 Mt 3:7 Lk 3:7 |
4 | Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers; | Ezk 14:14 Ezk 14:20 Ezk 22:2 Ezk 23:36 Ezk 23:45 Isa 5:3 Jer 7:16 Jer 11:14 Jer 14:11-14 Jer 15:1 1Co 6:2 |
5 | and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am Yahweh your God; | Ex 6:6 Ex 6:7 Ex 19:4-6 Dt 4:37 Dt 7:6 Dt 14:2 Ps 33:12 Isa 41:8 Isa 41:9 Isa 43:10 Isa 44:1 Isa 44:2 Jer 33:24 Mk 13:20 |
6 | in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands. | Ezk 20:5 Ezk 20:15 Ezk 20:23 Ezk 20:42 |
7 | I said to them, Cast you away every man the abominations of his eyes, and don`t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God. | Ezk 20:8 Ezk 18:6 Ezk 18:15 Ezk 18:31 Isa 2:20 Isa 2:21 Isa 31:7 |
8 | But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to 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 would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. | Dt 9:7 Ne 9:26 Isa 63:10 |
9 | But I worked for my name`s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. | Ezk 20:14 Ezk 20:22 Ezk 36:21 Ezk 36:22 Ezk 39:7 Ex 32:12 Nm 14:13-25 Dt 9:28 Dt 32:26 Dt 32:27 Jsh 7:9 1Sa 12:22 |
10 | So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. | Ex 13:17 Ex 13:18 Ex 14:17-22 Ex 15:22 Ex 20:2 |
11 | I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them. | Dt 4:8 Ne 9:13 Ne 9:14 Ps 147:19 Ps 147:20 Ro 3:2 |
12 | Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies them. | Gn 2:3 Ex 16:29 Ex 20:8-11 Ex 35:2 Lv 23:3 Lv 23:24 Lv 23:32 Lv 23:39 Lv 25:4 Dt 5:12-15 Ne 9:14 Mk 2:27 Mk 2:28 Col 2:16 |
13 | But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn`t walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them. | Ezk 20:8 Ex 16:28 Ex 32:8 Nm 14:22 Dt 9:12-24 Dt 31:27 1Sa 8:8 Ne 9:16-18 Ps 78:40 Ps 78:41 Ps 95:8-11 Ps 106:13-33 Isa 63:10 |
14 | But I worked for my name`s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out. | Ezk 20:9 Ezk 20:22 Ezk 36:22 Ezk 36:23 Eph 1:6 Eph 1:12 |
15 | Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands; | Ezk 20:23 Nm 14:23-30 Nm 26:64 Nm 26:65 Dt 1:34 Dt 1:35 Ps 95:11 Ps 106:26 Heb 3:11 Heb 3:18 Heb 4:3 |
16 | because they rejected my ordinances, and didn`t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. | Ezk 20:13 Ezk 20:14 |
17 | Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn`t destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness. | Ezk 8:18 Ezk 9:10 1Sa 24:10 Ne 9:19 Ps 78:37 Ps 78:38 |
18 | I said to their children in the wilderness, Don`t you walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols. | Nm 14:32 Nm 14:33 Nm 32:13-15 Dt 4:3-6 Ps 78:6-8 |
19 | I am Yahweh your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; | Ex 20:2 Ex 20:3 Dt 5:6 Dt 5:7 Dt 7:4-6 Ps 81:9 Ps 81:10 Jer 3:22 Jer 3:23 |
20 | and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God. | Ezk 20:12 Ezk 44:24 Ex 20:11 Ex 31:13-17 Ne 13:15-22 Isa 58:13 Jer 17:22 Jer 17:24 Jer 17:27 |
21 | But the children rebelled against me; they didn`t walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. | Nm 21:5 Nm 25:1-8 Dt 9:23 Dt 9:24 Dt 31:27 Ps 106:29-33 Ac 13:18 |
22 | Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name`s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth. | Ezk 20:17 Jb 13:21 Ps 78:38 Lam 2:8 |
23 | Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; | Ezk 20:15 Dt 32:40 Rev 10:5 Rev 10:6 |
24 | because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers` idols. | Ezk 20:13 Ezk 20:16 |
25 | Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live; | Ezk 20:26 Ezk 20:39 Ezk 14:9-11 Dt 4:27 Dt 4:28 Dt 28:36 Ps 81:12 Isa 66:4 Ro 1:21-28 2Th 2:9-11 |
26 | and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh. | Ezk 20:31 Isa 63:17 Ro 11:7-10 |
27 | Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. | Ezk 2:7 Ezk 3:4 Ezk 3:11 Ezk 3:27 |
28 | For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink-offerings. | Jsh 23:3 Jsh 23:4 Jsh 23:14 Ne 9:22-26 Ps 78:55-58 |
29 | Then I said to them, What means the high place whereunto you go? So the name of it is called Bamah to this day. | Ezk 16:24 Ezk 16:25 Ezk 16:31 |
30 | Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Do you pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and play you the prostitute after their abominations? | Nm 32:14 Jg 2:19 Jer 7:26 Jer 9:14 Jer 16:12 Mt 23:32 Ac 7:51 |
31 | and when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you; | Ezk 20:26 Dt 18:10-12 Ps 106:37-39 Jer 7:31 Jer 19:5 |
32 | and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. | Ezk 11:5 Ezk 38:10 Ps 139:2 Pr 19:21 Lam 3:37 |
33 | As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you: | Ezk 8:18 Jer 21:5 Jer 42:18 Jer 44:6 Lam 2:4 Dn 9:11 Dn 9:12 |
34 | and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out; | Ezk 20:38 Ezk 34:16 Isa 27:9-13 Am 9:9 Am 9:10 |
35 | and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. | Ezk 20:36 Ezk 19:13 Ezk 38:8 Hos 2:14 Mic 4:10 Mic 7:13-15 Rev 12:14 |
36 | Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Yahweh. | Ezk 20:13 Ezk 20:21 Ex 32:7-35 Nm 11:1-35 Nm 14:1-45 Nm 16:1-50 Nm 25:1-18 Ps 106:15-48 1Co 10:5-10 |
37 | I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; | Ezk 34:17 Lv 27:32 Jer 33:13 Mt 25:32 Mt 25:33 |
38 | and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Yahweh. | Ezk 11:21 Ezk 34:17 Ezk 34:20-22 Nm 14:28-30 Am 9:9 Am 9:10 Zc 13:8 Zc 13:9 Mal 3:3 Mal 4:1-3 Mt 3:9 Mt 3:10 Mt 3:12 Mt 25:32 Mt 25:33 Ro 9:27-29 |
39 | As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Go you, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name shall you no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols. | Ezk 20:25 Ezk 20:26 Jg 10:14 2Ki 3:13 Ps 81:12 Hos 4:17 Am 4:4 Am 4:5 Ro 1:24-28 2Th 2:11 |
40 | For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things. | Ezk 17:23 Ps 2:6 Ps 68:15 Ps 68:16 Isa 2:2 Isa 2:3 Isa 66:20 Jer 31:12 Jl 3:17 Jl 3:18 Ob 1:16 Mic 4:1 Mic 4:2 Heb 12:20-22 Rev 21:10 |
41 | As a sweet savor will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations. | Ezk 20:28 Ezk 6:13 Gn 8:21 Lv 1:9 Lv 1:13 Lv 1:17 Eph 5:2 Php 4:18 |
42 | You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers. | Ezk 20:38 Ezk 20:44 Ezk 24:24 Ezk 26:13 Ezk 36:23 Ezk 38:23 Jer 24:7 Jer 31:34 Jn 17:3 1Jn 5:20 |
43 | There shall you remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed. | Ezk 6:9 Lv 26:39-41 Ne 1:8-10 Hos 5:15 |
44 | You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have dealt with you for my name`s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh. | Ezk 20:38 Ezk 24:24 |
45 | The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, |
46 | Son of man, set your face toward the south, and drop [your word] toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South; | Ezk 4:7 Ezk 6:2 |
47 | and tell the forest of the South, Hear the word of Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby. | Ezk 15:6 Ezk 15:7 Ezk 19:14 Ezk 22:20 Ezk 22:21 Dt 32:22 Isa 9:18 Isa 9:19 Isa 30:33 Jer 21:14 |
48 | All flesh shall see that I, Yahweh, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched. | Dt 29:24-28 2Ch 7:20-22 Isa 26:11 Jer 40:2 Jer 40:3 Lam 2:16 Lam 2:17 |
49 | Then said I, Ah Lord Yahweh! they say of me, Isn`t he a speaker of parables? | Mt 13:13 Mt 13:14 Jn 16:25 Ac 17:18 |
