Israel's Continuing Rebellion

1 ¹In the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, certain of ²the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, ³and sat before me.

2 And the word of the LORD came to me:

3 ⁴"Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD, Is it to inquire of me that you come? ⁵As I live, declares the Lord GOD, ⁶I will not be inquired of by you.

4 ⁷Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? ⁸Let them know the abominations of their fathers,

5 and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: ⁹On the day when I chose Israel, ¹⁰I swore^a to the offspring of the house of Jacob, ¹¹making myself known to them in the land of Egypt; ¹²I swore to them, saying, I am the LORD your God.

6 On that day I swore to them that ¹³I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land ¹⁴flowing with milk and honey, ¹⁵the most glorious of all lands.

7 And I said to them, ¹⁶Cast away the detestable things ¹⁷your eyes feast on, every one of you, and do not defile yourselves with ¹⁸the idols of Egypt; ¹⁹I am the LORD your God.

8 ²⁰But they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. ²¹None of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. "Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them ²²and spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

9 ²³But I acted ²⁴for the sake of my name, ²⁵that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, ²⁶in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

10 ²⁷So I led them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.

11 ²⁸I gave them my statutes and made known to them my rules, ²⁹by which, if a person does them, he shall live.

12 Moreover, I gave them ³⁰my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, ³¹that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

13 ³²But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. ³³They did not walk in my statutes but rejected my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; ³⁴and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. ³⁵"Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to make a full end of them.

14 But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, ³⁶in whose sight I had brought them out.

15 Moreover, ³⁷I swore to them in the wilderness ³⁸that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, a land ³⁹flowing with milk and honey, ⁴⁰the most glorious of all lands,

16 because they rejected my rules and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; ⁴¹for their heart went after their idols.

17 Nevertheless, ⁴²my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them or ⁴³make a full end of them in the wilderness.

18 "And I said to ⁴⁴their children in the wilderness, Do not walk ⁴⁵in the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their rules, ⁴⁶nor defile yourselves with their idols.

19 ⁴⁷I am the LORD your God; ⁴⁸walk in my statutes, and be careful to obey my rules,

20 and ⁴⁹keep my Sabbaths holy that ⁵⁰they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.

21 ⁵¹But the children ⁵²rebelled against me. ⁵³They did not walk in my statutes and were not careful to obey my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; they profaned my Sabbaths. ⁵⁴"Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.

22 ⁵⁵But I withheld my hand ⁵⁶and acted for the sake of my name, ⁵⁷that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.

23 ⁵⁸Moreover, ⁵⁹I swore to them in the wilderness ⁶⁰that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries,

24 because they had not obeyed my rules, but had rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths, ⁶¹and their eyes were set on their fathers' idols.

25 ⁶²Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life,

26 and I defiled them through ⁶³their very gifts ⁶⁴in their offering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it ⁶⁵that they might know that I am the LORD.

27 "Therefore, ⁶⁶son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: In this also your fathers blasphemed me, by ⁶⁷dealing treacherously with me.

28 For when I had brought them into the land that ⁶⁸I swore to give them, then wherever they saw ⁶⁹any high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices and there they presented ⁷⁰the provocation of their offering; there they sent up their pleasing aromas, and there they poured out their drink offerings.

29 (I said to them, ⁷¹What is the high place to which you go? So its name is called Bamah^b to this day.)

30 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: ⁷²Will you defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers and go ⁷³whoring after their detestable things?

31 When you present your gifts and ⁷⁴offer up your children in fire,^c you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And ⁷⁵shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? ⁷⁶As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.

32 ⁷⁷"What is in your mind shall never happen--the thought, ⁷⁸'Let us be like the nations, like the tribes of the countries, ⁷⁹and worship wood and stone.'
