Young's Literal Translation
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
22 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My name`s sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.
23 I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.
24 Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been.
25 And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And judgments by which they do not live.
26 And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] Jehovah.
27 Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son of man, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Still in this have your fathers reviled Me, In their committing against Me a trespass.
28 And I bring them in unto the land, That I did lift up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice there their sacrifices, And give there the provocation of their offering, And make there their sweet fragrance, And they pour out there their libations.
