1제칠년 오월 십일에 이스라엘 장로 두어 사람이 여호와께 물으려고 와서 내 앞에 앉으니 2여호와의 말씀이 내게 임하여 가라사대 3인자야 이스라엘 장로들에게 고하여 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 너희가 내게 물으려고 왔느냐 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 나의 삶을 두고 맹세하노니 너희가 내게 묻기를 내가 용납지 아니하리라 하셨다 하라 4인자야 네가 그들을 국문하려느냐 네가 그들을 국문하려하느냐 너는 그들로 그 열조의 가증한 일을 알게 하여 5이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 옛날에 내가 이스라엘을 택하고 야곱 집의 후예를 향하여 맹세하고 애굽 땅에서 그들에게 나타나서 맹세하여 이르기를 나는 여호와 너희 하나님이라 하였었노라 6그 날에 내가 그들에게 맹세하기를 애굽 땅에서 인도하여 내어서 그들을 위하여 찾아 두었던 땅 곧 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 땅이요 모든 땅 중의 아름다운 곳에 이르게 하리라 하고 7또 그들에게 이르기를 너희는 눈을 드는바 가증한 것을 각기 버리고 애굽의 우상들로 스스로 더럽히지 말라 나는 여호와 너희 하나님이니라 하였으나 8그들이 내게 패역하여 내 말을 즐겨 듣지 아니하고 그 눈을 드는 바 가증한 것을 각기 버리지 아니하며 애굽의 우상들을 떠나지 아니하므로 내가 말하기를 내가 애굽 땅에서 나의 분을 그들의 위에 쏟으며 노를 그들에게 이루리라 하였었노라 9그러나 내가 그들의 거하는 이방인의 목전에서 그들에게 나타나서 그들을 애굽 땅에서 인도하여 내었었나니 이는 내 이름을 위함이라 내 이름을 그 이방인의 목전에서 더럽히지 않으려 하여 행하였음이로라 10그러므로 내가 그들로 애굽 땅에서 나와서 광야에 이르게 하고 11사람이 준행하면 그로 인하여 삶을 얻을 내 율례를 주며 내 규례를 알게 하였고 12또 나는 그들을 거룩하게 하는 여호와인 줄 알게 하려 하여 내가 내 안식일을 주어 그들과 나 사이에 표징을 삼았었노라 13그러나 이스라엘 족속이 광야에서 내게 패역하여 사람이 준행하면 그로 인하여 삶을 얻을 나의 율례를 준행치 아니하며 나의 규례를 멸시하였고 나의 안식일을 크게 더럽혔으므로 내가 이르기를 내가 내 분노를 광야에서 그들의 위에 쏟아 멸하리라 하였으나 14내가 내 이름을 위하여 달리 행하였었나니 내가 그들을 인도하여 내는 것을 목도한 열국 앞에서 내 이름을 더럽히지 아니하려 하였음이로라 15또 내가 광야에서 그들에게 맹세하기를 내가 그들에게 허한 땅 곧 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 땅이요 모든 땅 중의 아름다운 곳으로 그들을 인도하여 들이지 아니하리라 한 것은 16그들이 마음으로 우상을 좇아 나의 규례를 업신여기며 나의 율례를 행치 아니하며 나의 안식일을 더럽혔음이니라 17그러나 내가 그들을 아껴 보아 광야에서 멸하여 아주 없이 하지 아니하였었노라 18내가 광야에서 그들의 자손에게 이르기를 너희 열조의 율례를 좇지 말며 그 규례를 지키지 말며 그 우상들로 스스로 더럽히지 말라 19나는 여호와 너희 하나님이라 너희는 나의 율례를 좇으며 나의 규례를 지켜 행하고 20또 나의 안식일을 거룩하게 할지어다 이것이 나와 너희 사이에 표징이 되어 너희로 내가 여호와 너희 하나님인 줄 알게 하리라 하였었노라 21그러나 그 자손이 내게 패역하여 사람이 준행하면 그로 인하여 삶을 얻을 나의 율례를 좇지 아니하며 나의 규례를 지켜 행하지 아니하였고 나의 안식일을 더럽혔는지라 이에 내가 이르기를 내가 광야에서 내 분을 그들의 위에 쏟으며 내 노를 그들에게 이루리라 하였으나 22내가 내 이름을 위하여 내 손을 금하고 달리 행하였었나니 내가 그들을 인도하여 내는 것을 목도한 열국 앞에서 내 이름을 더럽히지 아니하려 하였음이로다 23또 내가 광야에서 그들에게 맹세하기를 내가 그들을 이방인 중에 흩으며 열방 중에 헤치리라 하였었나니 24이는 그들이 나의 규례를 행치 아니하며 나의 율례를 멸시하며 내 안식일을 더럽히고 눈으로 그 열조의 우상들을 사모함이며 25또 내가 그들에게 선치 못한 율례와 능히 살게 하지 못할 규례를 주었고 26그들이 장자를 다 화제로 드리는 그 예물로 내가 그들을 더럽혔음은 그들로 멸망케 하여 나를 여호와인 줄 알게 하려 하였음이니라 27그런즉 인자야 이스라엘 족속에게 고하여 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 너희 열조가 또 내게 범죄하여 나를 욕되게 하였느니라 28내가 그들에게 주기로 맹세한 땅으로 그들을 인도하여 들였더니 그들이 모든 높은 산과 모든 무성한 나무를 보고 거기서 제사를 드리고 격노케 하는 제물을 올리며 거기서 또 분향하고 전제를 부어 드린지라 29이에 내가 그들에게 이르기를 너희가 다니는 산당이 무엇이냐 하였노라 (그것을 오늘날까지 바마라 일컫느니라) 30그러므로 너는 이스라엘 족속에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 너희가 열조의 풍속을 따라 스스로 더럽히며 그 모든 가증한 것을 좇아 행음하느냐 31너희가 또 너희 아들로 화제를 삼아 예물로 드려 오늘날까지 우상들로 스스로 더럽히느냐 이스라엘 족속아 너희가 내게 묻기를 내가 용납하겠느냐 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 나의 삶을 두고 맹세하노니 너희가 내게 묻기를 내가 용납지 아니하리라 32너희가 스스로 이르기를 우리가 이방인 곧 열국 족속 같이 되어서 목석을 숭배하리라 하거니와 너희 마음에 품은 것을 결코 이루지 못하리라 33나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 나의 삶을 두고 맹세하노니 내가 능한 손과 편 팔로 분노를 쏟아 너희를 단정코 다스릴지라 34능한 손과 편 팔로 본노를 쏟아 너희를 열국 중에서 나오게 하며 너희의 흩어진 열방 중에서 모아내고 35너희를 인도하여 열국 광야에 이르러 거기서 너희를 대면하여 국문하되 36내가 애굽 땅 광야에서 너희 열조를 국문한 것 같이 너희를 국문하리라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라 37내가 너희를 막대기 아래로 지나게 하며 언약의 줄로 매려니와 38너희 가운데서 패역한 자와 내게 범죄한 자를 모두 제하여 버릴지라 그들을 그 우거하던 땅에서는 나오게 하여도 이스라엘 땅에는 들어가지 못하게 하리니 너희가 나를 여호와인 줄 알리라 39나 주 여호와가 말하노라 이스라엘 족속아 너희가 내 말을 듣지 아니하려거든 가서 각각 그 우상을 섬기고 이 후에도 그리하려무나 마는 다시는 너희 예물과 너희 우상들로 내 거룩한 이름을 더럽히지 말지니라 40나 주 여호와가 말하노라 이스라엘 온 족속이 그 땅에 있어서 내 거룩한 산 곧 이스라엘의 높은 산에서 다 나를 섬기리니 거기서 내가 그들을 기쁘게 받을지라 거기서 너희 예물과 너희 천신하는 첫 열매와 너희 모든 성물을 요구하리라 41내가 너희를 인도하여 열국 중에서 나오게 하고 너희의 흩어진 열방 중에서 모아 낼 때에 내가 너희를 향기로 받고 내가 또 너희로 말미암아 내 거룩함을 열국의 목전에서 나타낼 것이며 42내가 너희 열조에게 주기로 맹세한 땅 곧 이스라엘 땅으로 너희를 인도하여 들일 때에 너희가 나를 여호와인 줄 알고 43거기서 너희의 길과 스스로 더럽힌 모든 행위를 기억하고 이미 행한 모든 악을 인하여 스스로 미워하리라 44이스라엘 족속아 내가 너희의 악한 길과 더러운 행위대로 하지 아니하고 내 이름을 위하여 행한 후에야 너희가 나를 여호와인 줄 알리라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라 하셨다 하라 45여호와의 말씀이 또 내게 임하여 가라사대 46인자야 너는 얼굴을 남으로 향하라 남으로 향하여 소리내어 남방들의 삼림을 쳐서 예언하라 47남방 삼림에게 이르기를 여호와의 말씀을 들을지어다 주 여호와의 말씀에 내가 너의 가운데 불을 일으켜 모든 푸른 나무와 모든 마른 나무를 멸하리니 맹렬한 불꽃이 꺼지지 아니하고 남에서 북까지 모든 얼굴이 그슬릴지라 48무릇 혈기 있는 자는 나 여호와가 그 불을 일으킨 줄을 알리니 그것이 꺼지지 아니하리라 하셨다 하라 하시기로 49내가 가로되 오호라 주 여호와여 그들이 나를 가리켜 말하기를 그는 비유로 말하는 자가 아니냐 하나이다 하니라
1In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh, and sat before me. 2Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 3Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you. 4Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers; 5and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am Yahweh your God; 6in that day I swore 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. 7I said to them, Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and don’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God. 8But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn’t throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 9But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them out of the land of Egypt. 10So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 11I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. 12Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies them. 13But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn’t walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them. 14But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out. 15Moreover also I swore 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; 16because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 17Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness. 18I said to their children in the wilderness, Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols. 19I am Yahweh your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; 20and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God. 21But the children rebelled against me; they didn’t walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. 22Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out. 23Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; 24because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols. 25Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live; 26and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh. 27Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. 28For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings. 29Then I said to them, What does the high place where you go mean? So its name is called Bamah to this day. 30Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? and do you play the prostitute after their abominations? 31and when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will not be inquired of by you; 32and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. 33As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you: 34and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out; 35and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. 36Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Yahweh. 37I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; 38and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Yahweh. 39As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols. 40For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things. 41As a pleasant aroma will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations. 42You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers. 43There you shall remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed. 44You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh. 45Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 46Son of man, set your face toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South; 47and tell the forest of the South, Hear Yahweh’s word: Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby. 48All flesh shall see that I, Yahweh, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched. 49Then I said, Ah Lord Yahweh! they say of me, Isn’t he a speaker of parables?
1En het geschiedde in het zevende jaar, in de vijfde maand, op den tienden derzelver maand, dat er mannen uit de oudsten van Israel kwamen, om den HEERE te vragen; en zij zaten neder voor mijn aangezicht. 2Toen geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende: 3Mensenkind, spreek tot de oudsten van Israel, en zeg tot hen: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Komt gij, om Mij te vragen? Zo waarachtig als Ik leef, zo Ik van u gevraagd worde, spreekt de Heere HEERE. 4Zoudt gij hun recht geven, zoudt gij hun recht geven, o mensenkind? Maak hun de gruwelen hunner vaderen bekend; 5En zeg tot hen: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Ten dage als Ik Israel verkoos, zo hief Ik Mijn hand op tot het zaad van het huis Jakobs, en maakte Mijzelven hun in Egypteland bekend; ja, Ik hief Mijn hand tot hen op, zeggende: Ik ben de HEERE, uw God. 6Ten zelven dage hief Ik Mijn hand tot hen op, dat Ik hen uit Egypteland uitvoeren zou, in een land, dat Ik voor hen uitgespeurd had, vloeiende van melk en honig, hetwelk het sieraad is van alle landen. 7En Ik zeide tot hen: Een ieder werpe de verfoeiselen zijner ogen weg; en verontreinigt ulieden niet met de drekgoden van Egypte; Ik, de HEERE, ben uw God. 8Maar zij waren wederspannig tegen Mij, en wilden naar Mij niet horen; niemand wierp de verfoeiselen zijner ogen weg, noch verliet de drekgoden van Egypte; daarom zeide Ik, dat Ik Mijn grimmigheid over hen uitgieten zou, om Mijn toorn tegen hen te volbrengen in het midden van Egypteland. 9Doch Ik deed het om Mijns Naams wil, opdat hij niet ontheiligd wierde voor de ogen der heidenen, in welker midden zij waren; aan welke Ik Mij, voor derzelver ogen, bekend gemaakt heb, om hen uit Egypteland uit te voeren. 10En Ik voerde hen uit Egypteland, en bracht hen in de woestijn. 11Daar gaf Ik hun Mijn inzettingen, en maakte hun Mijn rechten bekend, dewelke, zo ze een mens doet, zal hij door dezelve leven. 12Daartoe ook gaf Ik hun Mijn sabbatten, om een teken te zijn tussen Mij en tussen hen, opdat zij zouden weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, Die hen heilige. 13Maar het huis Israels werd wederspannig tegen Mij in de woestijn; zij wandelden in Mijn inzettingen niet, en verwierpen Mijn rechten; dewelke, zo ze een mens doet, zal hij door dezelve leven; en zij ontheiligden Mijn sabbatten zeer, dat Ik zeide, Mijn grimmigheid te zullen uitgieten over hen in de woestijn, om hen te verdoen. 14Maar Ik deed het om Mijns Naams wil, opdat die niet ontheiligd werd voor de ogen van die heidenen, voor welker ogen Ik hen uitvoerde. 15Evenwel hief Ik ook Mijn hand op tot hen in de woestijn, dat Ik hen niet zou brengen in het land, dat Ik hun gegeven had, vloeiende van melk en honig, hetwelk het sieraad is van alle landen; 16Daarom dat zij Mijn rechten verwierpen, en in Mijn inzettingen niet wandelden, en Mijn sabbatten ontheiligden; want hun hart wandelde hun drekgoden na. 17Doch Mijn oog verschoonde hen, dat Ik hen niet verdierf, en geen voleinding met hen maakte in de woestijn. 18Maar Ik zeide tot hun kinderen in de woestijn: Wandelt niet in de inzettingen uwer vaderen, en onderhoudt hun rechten niet, en verontreinigt u niet met hun drekgoden. 19Ik ben de HEERE, uw God, wandelt in Mijn inzettingen, en onderhoudt Mijn rechten, en doet dezelve. 20En heiligt Mijn sabbatten, en zij zullen tot een teken zijn tussen Mij en tussen ulieden, opdat gij weet, dat Ik, de HEERE, uw God ben. 21Maar die kinderen waren ook wederspannig tegen Mij; zij wandelden niet in Mijn inzettingen, en Mijn rechten namen zij niet waar, om die te doen; dewelke, zo ze een mens doet, zal hij door dezelve leven; zij ontheiligden Mijn sabbatten, dat Ik zeide, Mijn grimmigheid te zullen uitgieten over hen, volbrengende Mijn toorn tegen hen in de woestijn. 22Doch Ik keerde Mijn hand af, en deed het om Mijns Naams wil, opdat hij voor de ogen der heidenen niet zou ontheiligd worden, voor welker ogen Ik hen uitgevoerd had. 23Ik hief ook Mijn hand tot hen op in de woestijn, dat Ik hen verspreiden zou onder de heidenen, en hen verstrooien in de landen; 24Omdat zij Mijn rechten niet gedaan hadden, maar Mijn inzettingen verworpen en Mijn sabbatten ontheiligd hadden, en hun ogen achter de drekgoden hunner vaderen waren. 25Daarom gaf Ik hun ook besluitingen, die niet goed waren, en rechten, waarbij zij niet leven zouden. 26En Ik verontreinigde hen in hun giften, omdat zij door het vuur deden doorgaan al wat de baarmoeder opent; opdat Ik ze verwoesten zou, ten einde dat zij zouden weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben. 27Daarom, mensenkind, spreek tot het huis Israels, en zeg tot hen: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Hiermede nog hebben Mij uw vaderen gesmaad, dat zij door overtreding tegen Mij overtreden hebben. 28Als Ik hen in het land gebracht had, over hetwelk Ik Mijn hand opgeheven had, om hetzelve hun te geven, zo zagen zij naar allen hogen heuvel, en alle dicht geboomte, en offerden daar hun offeren, en gaven daar hun tergende offeranden, en daar zetten zij hun liefelijken reuk, en daar offerden zij hun drankofferen. 29En Ik zeide tot hen: Wat is die hoogte, waarhenen gij gaat? Nochtans is de naam daarvan genoemd hoogte, tot op dezen dag toe. 30Daarom zeg tot het huis Israels: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Zijt gij verontreinigd geworden in den weg uwer vaderen, en hoereert gij achter hun verfoeiselen? 31Ja, met het offeren uwer gaven, met uw kinderen door het vuur te doen doorgaan, zijt gij verontreinigd aan al uw drekgoden tot op dezen dag toe; en zou Ik van u gevraagd worden, o huis Israels? Zo waarachtig als Ik leef, spreekt de Heere HEERE, zo Ik van u gevraagd worde! 32Daarom, dat in uw geest opgeklommen is, zal geenszins geschieden, dat gij zegt: Wij zullen als de heidenen en als de geslachten der landen zijn, dienende hout en steen. 33Zo waarachtig als Ik leef, spreekt de Heere HEERE: Zo Ik niet met een sterke hand, en uitgestrekten arm, en met een uitgegoten grimmigheid over u zal regeren! 34Want Ik zal u uit de volken voeren, en u vergaderen uit de landen, waarin gij verstrooid zijt, door een sterke hand, en door een uitgestrekten arm, en door een uitgegoten grimmigheid. 35Daartoe zal Ik u brengen in de woestijn der volken, en Ik zal met u aldaar rechten, aangezicht aan aangezicht; 36Gelijk als Ik gerecht heb met uw vaderen in de woestijn van Egypteland, alzo zal Ik met u rechten, spreekt de Heere HEERE. 37En Ik zal ulieden onder de roede doen doorgaan, en Ik zal u brengen onder den band des verbonds. 38Daartoe zal Ik, die rebel zijn, en die tegen Mij overtreden, uit ulieden uitzuiveren; Ik zal hen uit het land hunner vreemdelingschappen uitvoeren, en zij zullen in het landschap Israels niet weder komen, en gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben. 39En gijlieden, o huis Israels, alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Gaat henen, dient een ieder zijn drekgoden, ook hierna, dewijl gijlieden naar Mij niet hoort; doch ontheiligt niet meer Mijn heiligen Naam, met uw giften en met uw drekgoden. 40Want op Mijn heiligen berg, op den hogen berg Israels, spreekt de Heere HEERE, daar zal Mij het ganse huis Israels in het land dienen, zij allen; daar zal Ik welgevallen aan hen nemen, en daar zal Ik uw hefofferen eisen, en de eerstelingen uwer heffingen met al uw geheiligde dingen. 41Ik zal een welgevallen aan ulieden nemen om den liefelijken reuk, wanneer Ik u van de volken uitvoeren, en u vergaderen zal uit de landen, in dewelke gij zult verstrooid zijn, en Ik zal in u geheiligd worden voor de ogen der heidenen. 42En gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, als Ik u in het landschap Israels gebracht zal hebben, in het land, waarover Ik Mijn hand opgeheven heb, om hetzelve uw vaderen te geven. 43Daar zult gij dan gedenken aan uw wegen, en aan al uw handelingen waarmede gij u verontreinigd hebt, en gij zult van u zelven een walging hebben over al uw boosheden, die gij gedaan hebt. 44Zo zult gij weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben, als Ik met u gedaan zal hebben, om Mijns Naams wil, niet naar uw boze wegen, noch naar uw verdorven handelingen, o huis Israels, spreekt de Heere HEERE. 45Verder geschiedde des HEEREN woord tot mij, zeggende: 46Mensenkind, zet uw aangezicht naar den weg van het zuiden, en drup tegen het zuiden; en profeteer tegen het woud van het veld in het zuiden. 47En zeg tot het zuiderwoud: Hoor des HEEREN woord: Alzo zegt de Heere HEERE: Ziet, Ik zal een vuur in u aansteken, hetwelk in u allen groenen boom en allen dorren boom verteren zal; de vlammende vlam zal niet uitgeblust worden, maar daardoor zullen verbrand worden alle aangezichten van het zuiden tot het noorden toe. 48En alle vlees zal zien, dat Ik, de HEERE, dat aangestoken heb; het zal niet uitgeblust worden. 49En ik zeide: Ach, Heere HEERE, zij zeggen van mij: Is hij niet een verdichter van gelijkenissen?
