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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
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
