As surely as I live , I will not let you inquire of me , declares the Sovereign LORD . ’ 4 “ Will you judge them ? Will you judge them , son of man ? Then confront them with the detestable practices of their fathers 5 and say to them : ‘ This is what the Sovereign LORD says : On the day I chose Israel . I swore with uplifted hand to the descendants of the house of Jacob and revealed myself to them in Egypt . With uplifted hand I said to them , “ I am the LORD your God . ” 6 On that day I swore to them that I would bring them out of Egypt into a land searched out for them , a land flowing with milk and honey , the most beautiful of all lands . 7 And I said to them , “ Each of you , get rid of the vile images you have set your eyes on , and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt , I am the LORD your God . ” 8 “ ‘ But they rebelled against me and would not listen to me ; they did not get rid of the vile images they had set their eyes on , not did they forsake the idols of Egypt . So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in Egypt . 9 But for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations they lived among and in whose sight I had revealed myself to the Israelites by bringing them out of Egypt . 10 Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the desert . 11 I gave them my decrees and made known to them my laws , for the man who obeys them will live by them . 12 Also I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us , so they would know that I the LORD made them holy . 13 “ ‘ Yet the people of Israel rebelled against me in the desert . They did not follow my decrees but rejected my laws – although the man who obeys them will live by them – and they utterly desecrated my Sabbaths . So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and destroy them in the desert . 14 But for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out . 15 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the desert that I would not bring them into the land I had given them - a land flowing with milk and honey , most beautiful of all lands - 16 because they rejected my laws and did not flowing my decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths . For their hearts were devoted to their idols . 17 Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or put an end to them in the desert . 18 I said to their children in the desert , “ Do not follow the statutes of your fathers or keep their laws or defile yourselves with their idols . 19 I am the LORD your God ; following my decrees and be careful to keep my laws . 20 Keep my Sabbaths holy , that they may be a sign between us . Then you will know that I am the LORD your God . ” 21 “ ‘ But the children rebelled against me : They did not follow my decrees , they were not careful to keep my laws – although the man who obeys them will live by them – and they desecrated my Sabbaths . So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in the desert . 22 But I withheld my hand , and for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out . 23 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the desert that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries , 24 because they had not obeyed my laws but had rejected my decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths , and their eyes lusted after their fathers ’ idols . 25 I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by ; 26 I let them become defiled through their gifts – the sacrifice of every firstborn – that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the LORD . ’ 27 “ Therefore , son of man , speak to the people of Israel and say to them , ‘ This is what the Sovereign LORD says : In this also your fathers blasphemed me by forsaking me : 28 When I brought them into the land I had sworn to give them and they saw any high hill or any leafy tree , there they offered their sacrifices , made offerings that provoked me to anger , presented their fragrant incense and poured out their drink offerings . 29 Then I said to them : What is this high place you go to ? ’ ” ( It is called Bamah to this day . ) 30 Therefore say to the house of Israel : ‘ This is what the Sovereign LORD says : Will you defile yourselves the way your fathers did and lust after their vile images ? 31 When you offer your gifts – the sacrifice of your sons in the fire – you continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day . Am I to let you inquire of me . O house of Israel ? As surely as I live , declares the Sovereign LORD , I will not let you inquire of me . 32 “ ‘ You say , “ We want to be like the nations , like the peoples of the world , who serve wood and stone . ” But what you have in mind will never happen . 33 As surely as I live , declares the Sovereign LORD , I will rule over you with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath . 34 I will bring you from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered – with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath . 35 I will bring you into the desert of the nations and there , face to face , I will execute judgment upon you . 36 As I judged your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt , so I will judge you , declares the Sovereign LORD . 37 I will take note of you as you pass under my rod , and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant . 38 I will purge you of those who revolt and rebel against me , Although I will bring them out of the land where they living , yet they will not enter the land of Israel . Then you will know that I am the LORD . 39 “ ‘ As for you , O house of Israel , this is what the Sovereign LORD says : Go and serve you idols , every one of you ! But afterward you will surely listen to me and no longer profane my holy name with your gifts and idols . 40 For on my holy mountain , the high mountain of Israel , declares the Sovereign LORD , there in the land the entire house of Israel will serve me , and there I will accept them . There I will require your offerings and your choice gifts , along with all your holy sacrifices . 41 I will accept you as fragrant incense when I bring you out from the nations and gather you from the countries you have been scattered , and I will show myself holy among you in the sight of the nations . 42 Then you will know that I am the LORD , when I bring you into the land of Israel , the land I had sworn with uplifted hand to give to your fathers . 43 There you will remember your conduct and all the actions by which you have defiled yourselves , and you will loathe yourselves for all the evil you have done . 44 You will know that I am the LORD , when I deal with you for my name ’ s sake and not according to your evil ways and your corrupt practices , O house of Israel , declares the Sovereign LORD . ’ ” 45 The word of the LORD came to me : 46 “ Son of man , set your face toward the south ; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest of the southland . 47 Say to the southern forest : ‘ Hear the word of the LORD . This is what the Sovereign LORD says : I am about to set fire to you , and it will consume all your trees , both green and dry . The blazing flame will not be quenched , and every face from south to north will be scorched by it . 48 Everyone will see that I the LORD have kindled it ; it will not be quenched . ’ ” 49 Then I said , “ Ah , Sovereign LORD ! They are saying of me , ‘ Isn ’ t he just telling parables ? ’ ”
