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
L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
, 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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
; 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 L
ORD
have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49
Then said I, Ah
Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
CHAPTER 21
And the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and
drop
thy word
toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
3
And say to the land
