KJV EZE20 with Strong's Hebrew/Greek

20:1 And it came to pass in the seventh [H7637] year [H8141] , in the fifth [H2549] [month], the tenth [H6218] [day] of the month [H2320] , [that] certain [H582] of the elders [H2205] of Israel [H3478] came [H935] to enquire [H1875] of the LORD [H3068] , and sat [H3427] before [H6440] me.

20:2 Then came the word [H1697] of the LORD [H3068] unto me, saying [H559] ,

20:3 Son [H1121] of man [H120] , speak [H1696] unto the elders [H2205] of Israel [H3478] , and say [H559] unto them, Thus saith [H559] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] ; Are ye come [H935] to enquire [H1875] of me? [As] I live [H2416] , saith [H5002] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] , I will not be enquired [H1875] of by you.

20:4 Wilt thou judge [H8199] them, son [H1121] of man [H120] , wilt thou judge [H8199] [them]? cause them to know [H3045] the abominations [H8441] of their fathers [H1] :(Wilt: or, Wilt thou plead for them)

20:5 And say [H559] unto them, Thus saith [H559] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] ; In the day [H3117] when I chose [H977] Israel [H3478] , and lifted up [H5375] mine hand [H3027] unto the seed [H2233] of the house [H1004] of Jacob [H3290] , and made myself known [H3045] unto them in the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] , when I lifted [H5375] up mine hand [H3027] unto them, saying [H559] , I [am] the LORD [H3068] your God [H430] ;(lifted: or, sware)

20:6 In the day [H3117] [that] I lifted up [H5375] mine hand [H3027] unto them, to bring them forth [H3318] of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] into a land [H776] that I had espied [H8446] for them, flowing [H2100] with milk [H2461] and honey [H1706] , which [is] the glory [H6643] of all lands [H776] :

20:7 Then said [H559] I unto them, Cast ye away [H7993] every man [H376] the abominations [H8251] of his eyes [H5869] , and defile [H2930] not yourselves with the idols [H1544] of Egypt [H4714] : I [am] the LORD [H3068] your God [H430] .

20:8 But they rebelled [H4784] against me, and would [H14] not hearken [H8085] unto me: they did not every man [H376] cast away [H7993] the abominations [H8251] of their eyes [H5869] , neither did they forsake [H5800] the idols [H1544] of Egypt [H4714] : then I said [H559] , I will pour out [H8210] my fury [H2534] upon them, to accomplish [H3615] my anger [H639] against them in the midst [H8432] of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] .

20:9 But I wrought [H6213] for my name's [H8034] sake, that it should not be polluted [H2490] before [H5869] the heathen [H1471] , among [H8432] whom they [were], in whose sight [H5869] I made myself known [H3045] unto them, in bringing them forth [H3318] out of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] .

20:10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth [H3318] out of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] , and brought [H935] them into the wilderness [H4057] .

20:11 And I gave [H5414] them my statutes [H2708] , and shewed [H3045] them my judgments [H4941] , which [if] a man [H120] do [H6213] , he shall even live [H2425] in them.(shewed: Heb. made them to know)

20:12 Moreover also I gave [H5414] them my sabbaths [H7676] , to be a sign [H226] between me and them, that they might know [H3045] that I [am] the LORD [H3068] that sanctify [H6942] them.

20:13 But the house [H1004] of Israel [H3478] rebelled [H4784] against me in the wilderness [H4057] : they walked [H1980] not in my statutes [H2708] , and they despised [H3988] my judgments [H4941] , which [if] a man [H120] do [H6213] , he shall even live [H2425] in them; and my sabbaths [H7676] they greatly [H3966] polluted [H2490] : then I said [H559] , I would pour out [H8210] my fury [H2534] upon them in the wilderness [H4057] , to consume [H3615] them.

20:14 But I wrought [H6213] for my name's [H8034] sake, that it should not be polluted [H2490] before [H5869] the heathen [H1471] , in whose sight [H5869] I brought them out [H3318] .

20:15 Yet also I lifted up [H5375] my hand [H3027] unto 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] ;

20:16 Because they despised [H3988] my judgments [H4941] , and walked [H1980] not in my statutes [H2708] , but polluted [H2490] my sabbaths [H7676] : for their heart [H3820] went [H1980] after [H310] their idols [H1544] .

20:17 Nevertheless mine eye [H5869] spared [H2347] them from destroying [H7843] them, neither did I make [H6213] an end [H3617] of them in the wilderness [H4057] .

20:18 But 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 judgments [H4941] , nor defile [H2930] yourselves with their idols [H1544] :

20:19 I [am] the LORD [H3068] your God [H430] ; walk [H3212] in my statutes [H2708] , and keep [H8104] my judgments [H4941] , and do [H6213] them;

20:20 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] the LORD [H3068] your God [H430] .

20:21 Notwithstanding the children [H1121] rebelled [H4784] against me: they walked [H1980] not in my statutes [H2708] , neither kept [H8104] my judgments [H4941] to do [H6213] them, which [if] a man [H120] do [H6213] , he shall even live [H2425] in them; they polluted [H2490] my sabbaths [H7676] : then I said [H559] , I would pour out [H8210] my fury [H2534] upon them, to accomplish [H3615] my anger [H639] against them in the wilderness [H4057] .

20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew [H7725] mine hand [H3027] , and wrought [H6213] for my name's [H8034] sake, that it should not be polluted [H2490] in the sight [H5869] of the heathen [H1471] , in whose sight [H5869] I brought them forth [H3318] .

20:23 I lifted up [H5375] mine hand [H3027] unto them also in the wilderness [H4057] , that I would scatter [H6327] them among the heathen [H1471] , and disperse [H2219] them through the countries [H776] ;

20:24 Because they had not executed [H6213] my judgments [H4941] , but had despised [H3988] my statutes [H2708] , and had polluted [H2490] my sabbaths [H7676] , and their eyes [H5869] were after [H310] their fathers' [H1] idols [H1544] .

20:25 Wherefore I gave [H5414] them also statutes [H2706] [that were] not good [H2896] , and judgments [H4941] whereby they should not live [H2421] ;

20:26 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] the LORD [H3068] .

20:27 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] GOD [H3069] ; Yet in this your fathers [H1] have blasphemed [H1442] me, in that they have committed [H4603] a trespass [H4604] against me.(committed: Heb. trespassed a trespass)

20:28 [For] when I had brought [H935] them into the land [H776] , [for] the which I lifted up [H5375] mine hand [H3027] to give [H5414] it to them, then they saw [H7200] every high [H7311] hill [H1389] , and all the thick [H5687] trees [H6086] , and they offered [H2076] there their sacrifices [H2077] , and there they presented [H5414] the provocation [H3708] of their offering [H7133] : there also they made [H7760] their sweet [H5207] savour [H7381] , and poured out [H5258] there their drink offerings [H5262] .

20:29 Then I said [H559] unto them, What [is] the high place [H1116] whereunto ye go [H935] ? And the name [H8034] thereof is called [H7121] Bamah [H1117] unto this day [H3117] .(I said: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah)

20:30 Wherefore say [H559] unto the house [H1004] of Israel [H3478] , Thus saith [H559] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] ; Are ye polluted [H2930] after the manner [H1870] of your fathers [H1] ? and commit ye whoredom [H2181] after [H310] their abominations [H8251] ?

20:31 For when ye offer [H5375] your gifts [H4979] , when ye make your sons [H1121] to pass through [H5674] the fire [H784] , ye pollute [H2930] yourselves with all your idols [H1544] , even unto this day [H3117] : and shall I be enquired [H1875] of by you, O house [H1004] of Israel [H3478] ? [As] I live [H2416] , saith [H5002] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] , I will not be enquired [H1875] of by you.

20:32 And that which cometh [H5927] into your mind [H7307] shall not be at all, that ye say [H559] , We will be [H1961] as the heathen [H1471] , as the families [H4940] of the countries [H776] , to serve [H8334] wood [H6086] and stone [H68] .

20:33 [As] I live [H2416] , saith [H5002] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] , surely with a mighty [H2389] hand [H3027] , and with a stretched out [H5186] arm [H2220] , and with fury [H2534] poured out [H8210] , will I rule [H4427] over you:

20:34 And I will bring you out [H3318] from the people [H5971] , and will gather [H6908] you out of the countries [H776] wherein ye are scattered [H6327] , with a mighty [H2389] hand [H3027] , and with a stretched out [H5186] arm [H2220] , and with fury [H2534] poured out [H8210] .

20:35 And I will bring [H935] you into the wilderness [H4057] of the people [H5971] , and there will I plead [H8199] with you face [H6440] to face [H6440] .

20:36 Like as I pleaded [H8199] with your fathers [H1] in the wilderness [H4057] of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] , so will I plead [H8199] with you, saith [H5002] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] .

20:37 And I will cause you to pass [H5674] under the rod [H7626] , and I will bring [H935] you into the bond [H4562] of the covenant [H1285] :(bond: or, delivering)

20:38 And I will purge out [H1305] from among you the rebels [H4775] , and them that transgress [H6586] against me: I will bring them forth [H3318] out of the country [H776] where they sojourn [H4033] , and they shall not enter [H935] into the land [H127] of Israel [H3478] : and ye shall know [H3045] that I [am] the LORD [H3068] .

20:39 As for you, O house [H1004] of Israel [H3478] , thus saith [H559] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] ; Go [H3212] ye, serve [H5647] ye every one [H376] his idols [H1544] , and hereafter [H310] [also], if ye will not hearken [H8085] unto me: but pollute [H2490] ye my holy [H6944] name [H8034] no more with your gifts [H4979] , and with your idols [H1544] .

20:40 For in mine holy [H6944] mountain [H2022] , in the mountain [H2022] of the height [H4791] of Israel [H3478] , saith [H5002] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] , there shall all the house [H1004] of Israel [H3478] , all of them in the land [H776] , serve [H5647] me: there will I accept [H7521] them, and there will I require [H1875] your offerings [H8641] , and the firstfruits [H7225] of your oblations [H4864] , with all your holy things [H6944] .(firstfruits: or, chief)

20:41 I will accept [H7521] you with your sweet [H5207] savour [H7381] , when I bring you out [H3318] from the people [H5971] , and gather [H6908] you out of the countries [H776] wherein ye have been scattered [H6327] ; and I will be sanctified [H6942] in you before [H5869] the heathen [H1471] .(sweet: Heb. savour of rest)

20:42 And ye shall know [H3045] that I [am] the LORD [H3068] , when I shall bring [H935] you into the land [H127] of Israel [H3478] , into the country [H776] [for] the which I lifted up [H5375] mine hand [H3027] to give [H5414] it to your fathers [H1] .

20:43 And there shall ye remember [H2142] your ways [H1870] , and all your doings [H5949] , wherein ye have been defiled [H2930] ; and ye shall lothe [H6962] yourselves in your own sight [H6440] for all your evils [H7451] that ye have committed [H6213] .

20:44 And ye shall know [H3045] that I [am] the LORD [H3068] , when I have wrought [H6213] with you for my name's [H8034] sake, not according to your wicked [H7451] ways [H1870] , nor according to your corrupt [H7843] doings [H5949] , O ye house [H1004] of Israel [H3478] , saith [H5002] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] .

20:45 Moreover the word [H1697] of the LORD [H3068] came unto me, saying [H559] ,

20:46 Son [H1121] of man [H120] , set [H7760] thy face [H6440] toward [H1870] the south [H8486] , and drop [H5197] [thy word] toward the south [H1864] , and prophesy [H5012] against the forest [H3293] of the south [H5045] field [H7704] ;

20:47 And say [H559] to the forest [H3293] of the south [H5045] , Hear [H8085] the word [H1697] of the LORD [H3068] ; Thus saith [H559] the Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] ; Behold, I will kindle [H3341] a fire [H784] in thee, and it shall devour [H398] every green [H3892] tree [H6086] in thee, and every dry [H3002] tree [H6086] : the flaming [H3852] flame [H7957] shall not be quenched [H3518] , and all faces [H6440] from the south [H5045] to the north [H6828] shall be burned [H6866] therein.

20:48 And all flesh [H1320] shall see [H7200] that I the LORD [H3068] have kindled [H1197] it: it shall not be quenched [H3518] .

20:49 Then said [H559] I, Ah [H162] Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] ! they say [H559] of me, Doth he not speak [H4911] parables [H4912] ?
