and my sabbaths{H7676} they greatly{H3966} profaned.{H2490} Then I said{H559} I would pour out{H8210} my wrath{H2534} upon them in the wilderness,{H4057} to consume{H3615} them. 14 But I wrought{H6213} for my name's{H8034} sake, that it should not be profaned{H2490} in the sight{H5869} of the nations,{H1471} in whose sight{H5869} I brought them out.{H3318} 15 Moreover also I sware{H3027} unto{H5375} them in the wilderness,{H4057} that I would not bring{H935} them into the land{H776} which I had given{H5414} them, flowing{H2100} with milk{H2461} and honey,{H1706} which is the glory{H6643} of all lands;{H776} 16 because they rejected{H3988} mine ordinances,{H4941} and walked{H1980} not in my statutes,{H2708} and profaned{H2490} my sabbaths:{H7676} for their heart{H3820} went{H1980} after{H310} their idols.{H1544} 17 Nevertheless mine eye{H5869} spared{H2347} them, and I destroyed{H7843} them not, neither did I make{H6213} a full end{H3617} of them in the wilderness.{H4057} 18 And I said{H559} unto their children{H1121} in the wilderness,{H4057} Walk{H3212} ye not in the statutes{H2706} of your fathers,{H1} neither observe{H8104} their ordinances,{H4941} nor defile{H2930} yourselves with their idols.{H1544} 19 I am Jehovah{H3068} your God:{H430} walk{H3212} in my statutes,{H2708} and keep{H8104} mine ordinances,{H4941} and do{H6213} them; 20 and hallow{H6942} my sabbaths;{H7676} and they shall be a sign{H226} between me and you, that ye may know{H3045} that I am Jehovah{H3068} your God.{H430} 21 But the children{H1121} rebelled{H4784} against me; they walked{H1980} not in my statutes,{H2708} neither kept{H8104} mine ordinances{H4941} to do{H6213} them, which if a man{H120} do,{H6213} he shall live{H2425} in them; they profaned{H2490} my sabbaths.{H7676} Then I said{H559} I would pour out{H8210} my wrath{H2534} upon them, to accomplish{H3615} my anger{H639} against them in the wilderness.{H4057} 22 Nevertheless I withdrew{H7725} my hand,{H3027} and wrought{H6213} for my name's{H8034} sake, that it should not be profaned{H2490} in the sight{H5869} of the nations,{H1471} in whose sight{H5869} I brought them forth.{H3318} 23 Moreover I sware{H3027} unto{H5375} them in the wilderness,{H4057} that I would scatter{H6327} them among the nations,{H1471} and disperse{H2219} them through the countries;{H776} 24 because they had not executed{H6213} mine ordinances,{H4941} but had rejected{H3988} my statutes,{H2708} and had profaned{H2490} my sabbaths,{H7676} and their eyes{H5869} were after{H310} their fathers'{H1} idols.{H1544} 25 Moreover also I gave{H5414} them statutes{H2706} that were not good,{H2896} and ordinances{H4941} wherein they should not live;{H2421} 26 and I polluted{H2930} them in their own gifts,{H4979} in that they caused to pass through{H5674} [the fire] all that openeth{H6363} the womb,{H7356} that I might make them desolate,{H8074} to the end that they might know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068} 27 Therefore, son{H1121} of man,{H120} speak{H1696} unto the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} and say{H559} unto them, Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} In this moreover have your fathers{H1} blasphemed{H1442} me, in that they have committed{H4603} a trespass{H4604} against me. 28 For when I had brought{H935} them into the land,{H776} which I sware{H3027} to{H5375} give{H5414} unto them, then they saw{H7200} every high{H7311} hill,{H1389} and every thick{H5687} tree,{H6086} and they offered{H2076} there their sacrifices,{H2077} and there they presented{H5414} the provocation{H3708} of their offering;{H2076} there also they made{H7760} their sweet{H5207} savor,{H7381} and they poured out{H5258} there their drink-offerings.{H5262} 29 Then I said{H559} unto them, What meaneth the high place{H1116} whereunto ye go?{H935} So the name{H8034} thereof is called{H7121} Bamah{H1117} unto this day.{H3117} 30 Wherefore say{H559} unto the house{H1004} of Israel,{H3478} Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} Do ye pollute{H2930} yourselves after the manner{H1870} of your fathers?{H1} and play ye the harlot{H2181} after{H310} their abominations?{H8251} 31 and when ye offer{H5375} your gifts,{H4979} when ye make your sons{H1121} to pass through{H5674} the fire,{H784} do ye pollute{H2930} yourselves with all your idols{H1544} unto this day?{H3117} and shall I be inquired{H1875} of by you, O house{H1004} of Israel?{H3478} As I live,{H2416} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} I will not be inquired{H1875} of by you; 32 and that which cometh{H5927} into your mind{H7307} shall not be at all, in that ye say,{H559} We will be{H1961} as the nations,{H1471} as the families{H4940} of the countries,{H776} to serve{H8334} wood{H6086} and stone.{H68}
