Ezekiel 20 (WEBP)

[1] In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh, and sat before me.
[2] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[3] “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “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.” ’
[4] “Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.
[5] Tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring 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;’
[6] in that day I swore to them to bring them 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.
[7] I said to them, ‘Each of you throw away the abominations of his eyes. Don’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.’
[8] “ ‘ “But they rebelled against me and wouldn’t listen to me. They didn’t all throw away the abominations of their eyes. They also didn’t forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
[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 out of the land of Egypt.
[10] So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
[11] I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.
[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.
[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 keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
[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.
[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,
[16] because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
[17] Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full end of them in the wilderness.
[18] I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers. Don’t observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
[19] I am Yahweh your God. Walk in my statutes, keep my ordinances, and do them.
[20] Make my Sabbaths holy. They shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.’
[21] “ ‘ “But the children rebelled against me. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and didn’t keep my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, 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.
[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 out.
[23] Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries,
[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.
[25] Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they couldn’t live.
[26] I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh.” ’
[27] “Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Moreover, in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
[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 they also made their pleasant aroma, and there they poured out their drink offerings.
[29] Then I said to them, ‘What does the high place where you go mean?’ So its name is called Bamah to this day.” ’
[30] “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? Do you play the prostitute after their abominations?
[31] When you offer your gifts, when you make your sons pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? Should I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you!
[32] “ ‘ “That which comes into your mind will 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.’
[33] As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.
[34] 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, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.
[35] I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
[36] Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
[37] “I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
[38] I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who disobey me. I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”
[39] “ ‘As for you, house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says: “Go, everyone serve his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but you shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts and with your idols.
[40] For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh, “there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.
[41] I will accept you as a pleasant aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered. I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
[42] You will know that I am Yahweh when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
[43] There you will remember your ways, and all your deeds in which you have polluted yourselves. Then you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
[44] You will 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.’ ”
[45] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[46] “Son of man, set your face toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the south.
[47] Tell the forest of the south, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word: The Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree. The burning flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
[48] All flesh will see that I, Yahweh, have kindled it. It will not be quenched.” ’ ”
[49] Then I said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! They say of me, ‘Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’ ”

Ezekiel 20:29 “Bamah” means “High Place”.

Ezekiel 20 (KJVS)

[1] And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the elders of Israel came () to enquire () 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 enquire () of me? [As] I live, saith () the Lord God, I will not be enquired () of by you.
[4] Wilt thou judge () them, son of man, wilt thou judge () [them]? cause them to know () the abominations of their fathers:
[5] And say () unto them, Thus saith () the Lord God; In the day when I chose () Israel, and 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 Lord your God;
[6] In the day [that] I lifted up () mine hand unto them, to bring them forth () of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied () for them, flowing () with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands:
[7] Then said () I unto them, 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 fury upon them, to accomplish () my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
[9] But I wrought () for my 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 caused them to go forth () out of the land of Egypt, and brought () them into the wilderness.
[11] And I gave () them my statutes, and shewed () them my judgments, which [if] a man do, () he shall even live () in them.
[12] Moreover also I gave () them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know () that I [am] the Lord that sanctify () them.
[13] But the house of Israel rebelled () against me in the wilderness: they walked () not in my statutes, and they 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 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 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 heart went () after their idols.
[17] Nevertheless mine eye 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 fathers, neither observe () their judgments, nor defile () yourselves with their idols:
[19] I [am] the Lord your God; walk () in my statutes, and keep () my judgments, and do () them;
[20] And hallow () my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know () that I [am] the Lord your God.
[21] Notwithstanding the children 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 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 through () [the fire] all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, () to the end that they might 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 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 enquired () of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I live, saith () the Lord God, I will not be enquired () of by you.
[32] And that which cometh () into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, () We will be () as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve () 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 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 wilderness of the people, and there will I plead () with you 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 to pass () under the rod, and I will bring () you into the bond of the covenant:
[38] And I will purge out () from among you the rebels, () and them that transgress () against me: I will bring them forth () out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter () into the 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 pollute () ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
[40] For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith () the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve () me: there will I 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 gather () you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; () and I will be sanctified () in you before the heathen.
[42] And ye shall know () that I [am] the Lord, when I shall bring () you into the land of Israel, into the country [for] the which I lifted up () mine hand to give () it to your fathers.
[43] And there shall ye 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 face toward the south, and drop () [thy word] toward the south, and prophesy () against the forest 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 say () of me, Doth he not speak () parables?

[1] και εγενετο εν τω ετει τω εβδομω εν τω πεμπτω μηνι δεκατη του μηνος ηλθον ανδρες εκ των πρεσβυτερων οικου ισραηλ επερωτησαι τον κυριον και εκαθισαν προ προσωπου μου
[2] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[3] υιε ανθρωπου λαλησον προς τους πρεσβυτερους του ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος ει επερωτησαι με υμεις ερχεσθε ζω εγω ει αποκριθησομαι υμιν λεγει κυριος
[4] ει εκδικησω αυτους εκδικησει υιε ανθρωπου τας ανομιας των πατερων αυτων διαμαρτυραι αυτοις
[5] και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος αφ ης ημερας ηρετισα τον οικον ισραηλ και εγνωρισθην τω σπερματι οικου ιακωβ και εγνωσθην αυτοις εν γη αιγυπτου και αντελαβομην τη χειρι μου αυτων λεγων εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων
[6] εν εκεινη τη ημερα αντελαβομην τη χειρι μου αυτων του εξαγαγειν αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου εις την γην ην ητοιμασα αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι κηριον εστιν παρα πασαν την γην
[7] και ειπα προς αυτους εκαστος τα βδελυγματα των οφθαλμων αυτου απορριψατω και εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν αιγυπτου μη μιαινεσθε εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων
[8] και απεστησαν απ εμου και ουκ ηθελησαν εισακουσαι μου τα βδελυγματα των οφθαλμων αυτων ουκ απερριψαν και τα επιτηδευματα αιγυπτου ουκ εγκατελιπον και ειπα του εκχεαι τον θυμον μου επ αυτους του συντελεσαι την οργην μου εν αυτοις εν μεσω γης αιγυπτου
[9] και εποιησα οπως το ονομα μου το παραπαν μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων ων αυτοι εισιν εν μεσω αυτων εν οις εγνωσθην προς αυτους ενωπιον αυτων του εξαγαγειν αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου
[10] και εξηγαγον αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και ηγαγον αυτους εις την ερημον
[11] και εδωκα αυτοις τα προσταγματα μου και τα δικαιωματα μου εγνωρισα αυτοις οσα ποιησει αυτα ανθρωπος και ζησεται εν αυτοις
[12] και τα σαββατα μου εδωκα αυτοις του ειναι εις σημειον ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον αυτων του γνωναι αυτους διοτι εγω κυριος ο αγιαζων αυτους
[13] και ειπα προς τον οικον του ισραηλ εν τη ερημω εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου πορευεσθε και ουκ επορευθησαν και τα δικαιωματα μου απωσαντο α ποιησει αυτα ανθρωπος και ζησεται εν αυτοις και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλωσαν σφοδρα και ειπα του εκχεαι τον θυμον μου επ αυτους εν τη ερημω του εξαναλωσαι αυτους
[14] και εποιησα οπως το ονομα μου το παραπαν μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων ων εξηγαγον αυτους κατ οφθαλμους αυτων
[15] και εγω εξηρα την χειρα μου επ αυτους εν τη ερημω το παραπαν του μη εισαγαγειν αυτους εις την γην ην εδωκα αυτοις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι κηριον εστιν παρα πασαν την γην
[16] ανθ ων τα δικαιωματα μου απωσαντο και εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου ουκ επορευθησαν εν αυτοις και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν και οπισω των ενθυμηματων των καρδιων αυτων επορευοντο
[17] και εφεισατο ο οφθαλμος μου επ αυτους του εξαλειψαι αυτους και ουκ εποιησα αυτους εις συντελειαν εν τη ερημω
[18] και ειπα προς τα τεκνα αυτων εν τη ερημω εν τοις νομιμοις των πατερων υμων μη πορευεσθε και τα δικαιωματα αυτων μη φυλασσεσθε και εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν αυτων μη συναναμισγεσθε και μη μιαινεσθε
[19] εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου πορευεσθε και τα δικαιωματα μου φυλασσεσθε και ποιειτε αυτα
[20] και τα σαββατα μου αγιαζετε και εστω εις σημειον ανα μεσον εμου και υμων του γινωσκειν διοτι εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων
[21] και παρεπικραναν με και τα τεκνα αυτων εν τοις προσταγμασιν μου ουκ επορευθησαν και τα δικαιωματα μου ουκ εφυλαξαντο του ποιειν αυτα α ποιησει ανθρωπος και ζησεται εν αυτοις και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν και ειπα του εκχεαι τον θυμον μου επ αυτους εν τη ερημω του συντελεσαι την οργην μου επ αυτους
[22] και εποιησα οπως το ονομα μου το παραπαν μη βεβηλωθη ενωπιον των εθνων ων εξηγαγον αυτους κατ οφθαλμους αυτων
[23] και εξηρα την χειρα μου επ αυτους εν τη ερημω του διασκορπισαι αυτους εν τοις εθνεσιν και διασπειραι αυτους εν ταις χωραις
[24] ανθ ων τα δικαιωματα μου ουκ εποιησαν και τα προσταγματα μου απωσαντο και τα σαββατα μου εβεβηλουν και οπισω των ενθυμηματων των πατερων αυτων ησαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων
[25] και εγω εδωκα αυτοις προσταγματα ου καλα και δικαιωματα εν οις ου ζησονται εν αυτοις
[26] και μιανω αυτους εν τοις δομασιν αυτων εν τω διαπορευεσθαι με παν διανοιγον μητραν οπως αφανισω αυτους
[27] δια τουτο λαλησον προς τον οικον του ισραηλ υιε ανθρωπου και ερεις προς αυτους ταδε λεγει κυριος εως τουτου παρωργισαν με οι πατερες υμων εν τοις παραπτωμασιν αυτων εν οις παρεπεσον εις εμε
[28] και εισηγαγον αυτους εις την γην ην ηρα την χειρα μου του δουναι αυτοις και ειδον παν βουνον υψηλον και παν ξυλον κατασκιον και εθυσαν εκει τοις θεοις αυτων και εταξαν εκει οσμην ευωδιας και εσπεισαν εκει σπονδας αυτων
[29] και ειπον προς αυτους τι εστιν αβαμα οτι υμεις εισπορευεσθε εκει και επεκαλεσαν το ονομα αυτου αβαμα εως της σημερον ημερας
[30] δια τουτο ειπον προς τον οικον του ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος ει εν ταις ανομιαις των πατερων υμων υμεις μιαινεσθε και οπισω των βδελυγματων αυτων υμεις εκπορνευετε
[31] και εν ταις απαρχαις των δοματων υμων εν τοις αφορισμοις υμεις μιαινεσθε εν πασιν τοις ενθυμημασιν υμων εως της σημερον ημερας και εγω αποκριθω υμιν οικος του ισραηλ ζω εγω λεγει κυριος ει αποκριθησομαι υμιν και ει αναβησεται επι το πνευμα υμων τουτο
[32] και ουκ εσται ον τροπον υμεις λεγετε εσομεθα ως τα εθνη και ως αι φυλαι της γης του λατρευειν ξυλοις και λιθοις
[33] δια τουτο ζω εγω λεγει κυριος εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και εν θυμω κεχυμενω βασιλευσω εφ υμας
[34] και εξαξω υμας εκ των λαων και εισδεξομαι υμας εκ των χωρων ου διεσκορπισθητε εν αυταις εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και εν θυμω κεχυμενω
[35] και αξω υμας εις την ερημον των λαων και διακριθησομαι προς υμας εκει προσωπον κατα προσωπον
[36] ον τροπον διεκριθην προς τους πατερας υμων εν τη ερημω γης αιγυπτου ουτως κρινω υμας λεγει κυριος
[37] και διαξω υμας υπο την ραβδον μου και εισαξω υμας εν αριθμω
[38] και εκλεξω εξ υμων τους ασεβεις και τους αφεστηκοτας διοτι εκ της παροικεσιας αυτων εξαξω αυτους και εις την γην του ισραηλ ουκ εισελευσονται και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος
[39] και υμεις οικος ισραηλ ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος εκαστος τα επιτηδευματα αυτου εξαρατε και μετα ταυτα ει μη υμεις εισακουετε μου και το ονομα μου το αγιον ου βεβηλωσετε ουκετι εν τοις δωροις υμων και εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν υμων
[40] διοτι επι του ορους του αγιου μου επ ορους υψηλου λεγει κυριος κυριος εκει δουλευσουσιν μοι πας οικος ισραηλ εις τελος και εκει προσδεξομαι και εκει επισκεψομαι τας απαρχας υμων και τας απαρχας των αφορισμων υμων εν πασιν τοις αγιασμασιν υμων
[41] εν οσμη ευωδιας προσδεξομαι υμας εν τω εξαγαγειν με υμας εκ των λαων και εισδεχεσθαι υμας εκ των χωρων εν αις διεσκορπισθητε εν αυταις και αγιασθησομαι εν υμιν κατ οφθαλμους των λαων
[42] και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος εν τω εισαγαγειν με υμας εις την γην του ισραηλ εις την γην εις ην ηρα την χειρα μου του δουναι αυτην τοις πατρασιν υμων
[43] και μνησθησεσθε εκει τας οδους υμων και τα επιτηδευματα υμων εν οις εμιαινεσθε εν αυτοις και κοψεσθε τα προσωπα υμων εν πασαις ταις κακιαις υμων
[44] και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος εν τω ποιησαι με ουτως υμιν οπως το ονομα μου μη βεβηλωθη κατα τας οδους υμων τας κακας και κατα τα επιτηδευματα υμων τα διεφθαρμενα λεγει κυριος
[45] [21:1] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[46] [21:2] υιε ανθρωπου στηρισον το προσωπον σου επι θαιμαν και επιβλεψον επι δαρωμ και προφητευσον επι δρυμον ηγουμενον ναγεβ
[47] [21:3] και ερεις τω δρυμω ναγεβ ακουε λογον κυριου ταδε λεγει κυριος κυριος ιδου εγω αναπτω εν σοι πυρ και καταφαγεται εν σοι παν ξυλον χλωρον και παν ξυλον ξηρον ου σβεσθησεται η φλοξ η εξαφθεισα και κατακαυθησεται εν αυτη παν προσωπον απο απηλιωτου εως βορρα
[48] [21:4] και επιγνωσονται πασα σαρξ οτι εγω κυριος εξεκαυσα αυτο και ου σβεσθησεται
[49] [21:5] και ειπα μηδαμως κυριε κυριε αυτοι λεγουσιν προς με ουχι παραβολη εστιν λεγομενη αυτη
