1In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and they sat down before me.
“the seventh year in the fifth month the tenth day of the month that certain of the elders of israel came to inquire of the law and sat before me.”
2Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
“Then the word of the Lord came to me saying,”
“Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,”
“Then came the word of the lord unto me saying”
“Then the word of the Lord came to me saying”
“then the Word of the Lord came to me saying”
“Then the word of the Lord came to me saying,”
3"Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Have you come to inquire of Me? As surely as I live, I will not be consulted by you, declares the Lord GOD.
“son of man speak unto the elders of israel. Say unto them. Thus saith the lord god are ye come to inquire of me as i live set the lord god. I will not be inquired of by you.”
4Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? Confront them with the abominations of their fathers
“Will thou judge them son of man. Will thou judge them. Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers”
“Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them, cause them to know the abominations of their fathers?”
5and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, 'I am the LORD your God.'
“Say unto them thus saith the Lord God in the day when I chose Israel and lifted up mine hand unto the seat of the house of Jacob and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt when I lifted up my hand unto them saying I am…”
6On that day I swore to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands.
“in the day that i lifted up mine hand unto them to bring them forth of the land of egypt into a land that i had aspired for them flowing with milk and honey which is the glory of all lands.”
“In the day that I lifted up my hand unto them to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into the land which I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all the lands.”
7And I said to them: 'Each of you must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and you must not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.'
“I said to them, cast away each of you the detestable things of your eyes. Do not defile yourself with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
8But they rebelled against Me and refused to listen. None of them cast away the abominations before their eyes, and they did not forsake the idols of Egypt. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the land of Egypt.
“But they rebelled against me. They would not hearken unto me. They did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them to…”
“But they rebelled against me wouldn't hearken to me. They did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes. Neither did they forsake the idols of egypt. Then i said i will pour out my fury to accomplish my anger against…”
9But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were living, in whose sight I had revealed Myself to Israel by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
“But I wrought for my name's sake that it should not be polluted before the heathen among whom they were in whose sight I made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.”
“But i wrought for my name's sake that it should not be polluted before the heathen among whom they were in whose sight i made myself known unto them in bringing them forth out of the land of egypt.”
10So I brought them out of the land of Egypt and led them into the wilderness.
“Wherefore, I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt and I brought them into the wilderness.”
11And I gave them My statutes and made known to them My ordinances—for the man who does these things will live by them.
“And I gave them my statutes. I showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.”
12I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
“I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.”
13Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.
“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes. They despised my judgments. Which if a man do, he would live in them. And my Sabbaths they greatly polluted. Then I said I would…”
14But I acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
“But I wrought for my name's sake that it should not be polluted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out.”
“I acted for the sake of my name. That it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations before whose sight I had brought them out.”
15Moreover, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands—
“Yet 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 the lands,”
16because they kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols.
“Because they despised my judgments and walked not in my statutes, but they polluted my Sabbaths. For their heart went after their idols.”
“Because they rejected Me, My ordinances, and as for My statutes, they did not walk in them. They even profaned My Sabbath. For their heart continually went after their idols.”
“Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my Sabbaths, for their heart went after their idols.”
17Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.
“Nevertheless, my eye spared them from destroying them. Neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.”
18In the wilderness I said to their children: 'Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.

21But the children rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes or carefully observe My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the wilderness.
“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 live in them. They polluted my Sabbaths. And then I said I would pour out my…”
“Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against Me. This is God speaking. They did not walk in My statutes and were not careful to observe My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them. But they profaned My Sabbaths.…”
“Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against me. They walked not my statues. They didn't keep my judgment to do them. What if a man do he shall even live in them? They polluted my sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my fury…”
22But I withheld My hand and acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

23However, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.
“I lifted up my hand unto them also in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the heathen and disperse them through the countries.”
24For they did not practice My ordinances, but they rejected My statutes and profaned My Sabbaths, fixing their eyes on the idols of their fathers.
“Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, have polluted my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their father's idols.”
25I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live.

32When you say, 'Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of the lands, serving wood and stone,' what you have in mind will never come to pass.
