26:020:027 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house
of Israel, and say
unto
them, Thus saith the Lord god; Yet in this your
fathers
have
blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass
against
me.
26:020:028 For when I had brought them into the land,
for the which I
lifted
up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every
high
hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there
their
sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation
of
their
offering: there also they made their sweet savour,
and
poured
out there their drink offerings.
26:020:029 Then I said unto them, What is the high
place whereunto ye go?
And
the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.
26:020:030 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel,
Thus saith the Lord
god;
Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and
commit
ye whoredom after their abominations?
26:020:031 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make
your sons to pass
through
the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols,
even
unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you,
O house
of
Israel? As I live, saith the Lord god, I
will not be
enquired
of by you.
26:020:032 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.
26:020:033 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:
26:020:034 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.
26:020:035 And I will bring you into the wilderness
of the people, and
there
will I plead with you face to face.
26:020:036 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.
26:020:037 And I will cause you to pass under the
rod, and I will bring
you
into the bond of the covenant:
26:020:038 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 lord.
26:020:039 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.
