Ezekiel 20:10                                  612                                   Ezekiel 20:38

            the land of Egypt.  10  Nowe I caried them out idoles.    25  Wherefore I gaue them also statutes
            of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the that were not good, and iudgements, wherein
            wildernes.  11  And I gaue them my statutes, and they should not liue.  26  And I polluted them in
            declared my iudgements vnto them, which if a their owne giftes in that they caused to passe
            man doe, he shall liue in them.  12 Moreouer I gaue by the fire all that first openeth ye wombe, that
            them also my Sabbaths to be a signe betweene I might destroy them, to the ende, that they
            me and them, that they might knowe that I am might know that I am ye Lord.          27  Therefore,
            the Lord, that sanctifie them.  13  But the house sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel,
            of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernes:  and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God,
            they walked not in my statutes, and they cast    Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me,
            away my iudgements, which if a man doe, he       though they had before grieuously transgressed
            shall liue in them, and my Sabbaths haue they    against me.   28  For when I had brought them
            greatly polluted: then I thought to powre out    into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine
            mine indignation vpon them in the wildernes hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery
            to consume them,    14  But I had respect to my hie hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offred
            Name, that it shoulde not bee polluted before there their sacrifices, and there they presented
            the heathen in whose sight I brought them out.   their offering of prouocation: there also they
            15  Yet neuerthelesse, I lift vp mine hande vnto  made their sweete sauour, and powred out there
            them in the wildernes that I would not bring     their drinke offerings.  29 Then I saide vnto them,
            them into the lande, which I had giuen them,     What is the hie place whereunto ye goe? And
            flowing with milke and hony, which was pleasant  the name thereof was called Bamah vnto this
            aboue all landes,  16  Because they cast away my day.  30 Wherefore, say vnto the house of Israel,
            iudgments, and walked not in my statutes, but Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted
            haue polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after the maner of your fathers? and commit ye
            after their idoles.  17  Neuerthelesse, mine eye not whoredome after their abominations?    31 For
            spared them, that I would not destroye them,     when you offer your giftes, and make your sonnes
            neither would I consume them in the wildernes.   to passe through the fire, you pollute your selues
            18 But I said vnto their children in the wildernes, with all your idoles vnto this day: shall I answere
            Walke ye not in the ordinances of your fathers,  you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I
            neither obserue their maners, nor defile your    liue, saith the Lord God, I wil not answere you
            selues with their idoles.  19 I am the Lordyour God:  when I am asked.  32  Neither shall that be done
            walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements that commeth into your minde: for ye say, We
            and doe them,  20 And sanctifie my Sabbaths, and wil be as the heathen, and as the families of the
            they shall bee a signe betweene mee and you,     countreys, and serue wood, and stone.     33  As I
            that ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God.   liue, saith the Lord God, I will surely rule you
            21  Notwithstanding the children rebelled against  with a mightie hand, and with a stretched out
            mee: they walked not in my statutes, nor kept my  arme, and in my wrath powred out,   34  And will
            iudgements to doe them, which if a man doe, hee  bring you from the people, and will gather you
            shall liue in them, but they polluted my Sabbaths:  out of the countreys, wherein ye are scattered,
            then I thought to powre out mine indignation     with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out
            vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against    arme, and in my wrath powred out,   35 And I will
            them in the wildernes.  22  Neuerthelesse I with-  bring you into the wildernes of the people, and
            drewminehandandhadrespectto my Namethat there wil I pleade with you face to face.          36  Like
            it should not be polluted before the heathen, in as I pleaded with your fathers in the wildernes
            whose sight I brought them foorth.   23  Yet I lift of the lande of Egypt, so will I pleade with you,
            vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes, that saith the Lord God.     37  And I wil cause you to
            I would scatter them among the heathen, and passe vnder the rod, and wil bring you into the
            disperse them through the countreys,  24 Because bond of the couenant.  38 And I wil chuse out from
            they had not executed my iudgements, but had     among you the rebels, and them that transgresse
            cast away my statutes and had polluted my Sab-   against mee: I will bring them out of the land
            baths, and their eyes were after their fathers   where they dwel, and they shall not enter into
