KJVAnd it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the Lord, and sat before me.

GIGAKJVIn the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to ask the Lord, and sat before me.

KJVThen came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,

GIGAKJVThen the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

KJVSon of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be enquired of by you.

GIGAKJVSon of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, The Lord God says this. Have you come to ask me? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not let you ask me anything.

KJVWilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

GIGAKJVWill you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the disgusting practices of their fathers:

KJVAnd say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the Lord your God;

GIGAKJVAnd say to them, The Lord God says this. In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up my hand to them, saying, I am the Lord your God.

KJVIn 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 espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:

GIGAKJVIn the day that I lifted up my hand to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:

KJVThen said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

GIGAKJVThen I said to them, Every man, throw away the disgusting idols you look to, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

KJVBut they rebelled against me, and 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 accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

GIGAKJVBut they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me: they did not throw away the disgusting idols they looked to, neither did they abandon the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.

KJVBut 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.

GIGAKJVBut I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the nations they were among, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

KJVWherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

GIGAKJVTherefore I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

KJVAnd I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.

GIGAKJVAnd I gave them my laws, and showed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.

KJVMoreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.

GIGAKJVAlso I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.

KJVBut the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

GIGAKJVBut the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they did not walk in my laws, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. And my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

KJVBut I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

GIGAKJVBut I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

KJVYet also 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 lands;

GIGAKJVYet also I lifted up my hand to 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 lands.

KJVBecause they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

GIGAKJVBecause they despised my judgments, and did not walk in my laws, but polluted my sabbaths. For their heart went after their idols.

KJVNevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.

GIGAKJVBut my eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.

KJVBut I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:

GIGAKJVBut I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not walk in the laws of your fathers, do not keep their judgments, and do not defile yourselves with their idols:

KJVI am the Lord your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;

GIGAKJVI am the Lord your God. Walk in my laws, and keep my judgments, and do them.

KJVAnd hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.

GIGAKJVAnd keep my sabbaths holy. And they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.

KJVNotwithstanding 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 even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

GIGAKJVBut the children rebelled against me: they did not walk in my laws, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. They polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

KJVNevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.

GIGAKJVBut I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

KJVI lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

GIGAKJVI lifted up my hand to them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

KJVBecause they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

GIGAKJVBecause they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my laws, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

KJVWherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

GIGAKJVTherefore I gave them also laws that were not good, and judgments by which they should not live.

KJVAnd I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.

GIGAKJVAnd I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might fill them with horror, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.

KJVTherefore, 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.

GIGAKJVTherefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, The Lord God says this. Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a sin against me.

KJVFor 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.

GIGAKJVFor when I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my 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 aroma, and poured out there their drink offerings.

KJVThen I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.

GIGAKJVThen I said to them, What is the high place to which you go? And the name of which is called Bamah to this day.

KJVWherefore 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?

GIGAKJVTherefore say to the house of Israel, The Lord God says this. Are you polluted after the manner of your fathers? And commit you prostitution after their disgusting practices?

KJVFor 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.

GIGAKJVFor when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, you pollute yourselves with all your idols, even to this day: and shall I let you ask me anything, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not let you ask me anything.

KJVAnd 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.

GIGAKJVAnd that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, that you say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

KJVAs 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:

GIGAKJVAs I live, says the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

KJVAnd 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.

GIGAKJVAnd I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

KJVAnd I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

GIGAKJVAnd I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I will plead with you face to face.

KJVLike as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God.

GIGAKJVLike as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead with you, says the Lord God.

KJVAnd 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.

GIGAKJVAnd I will cleanse out from among you the rebels, and those who rebel against me: I will bring them out of the country where they stay, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

GIGAKJVAs for you, O house of Israel, the Lord God says this. Go, serve every one his idols, and from now on also, if you will not listen to me: but pollute you my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

KJVFor 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.

GIGAKJVAnd you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.

KJVAnd 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.

GIGAKJVAnd there you shall remember your ways, and all your actions, in which you have been defiled. And you shall hate yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.

KJVAnd ye shall know that I am the Lord 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.

GIGAKJVAnd you shall know that I am the Lord when I have worked with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, or according to your corrupt actions, O you house of Israel, says the Lord God.

KJVMoreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

GIGAKJVAlso the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

KJVSon of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;

GIGAKJVSon of man, set your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.

KJVAnd say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord; 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.

GIGAKJVAnd say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord. The Lord God says this. I will light a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned in it.

KJVAnd all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

GIGAKJVAnd all flesh shall see that I the Lord have lit it: it shall not be put out.

KJVThen said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

GIGAKJVThen I said, Ah Lord God! They say of me, Does he not speak parables?
