| Ezekiel 20:1 | Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the responsible men of Israel came to get directions from the Lord and were seated before me. | And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me. | It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh, and sat before me. |
| Ezekiel 20:2 | Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, | And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: | The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, |
| Ezekiel 20:3 | Son of man, say to the responsible men of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Have you come to get directions from me? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no directions from me. | Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God. | Son 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:4 | Will you be their judge, O son of man, will you be their judge? make clear to them the disgusting ways of their fathers, | If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, son of man, declare to them 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; |
| Ezekiel 20:5 | And say to them, This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I took Israel for myself, when I made an oath to the seed of the family of Jacob, and I gave them knowledge of myself in the land of Egypt, saying to them with an oath, I am the Lord your God; | And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God : In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God: | and 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; |
| Ezekiel 20:6 | In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands: | In that day I lifted up my hand for them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelleth amongst all lands. | in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:7 | And I said to them, Let every man among you put away the disgusting things to which his eyes are turned, and do not make yourselves unclean with the images of Egypt; I am the Lord your God. | And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. | I said to them, Cast you away every man the abominations of his eyes, and don't defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God. |
| Ezekiel 20:8 | But they would not be controlled by me, and did not give ear to me; they did not put away the disgusting things to which their eyes were turned, or give up the images of Egypt: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the land of Egypt. | But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. | But they rebelled against me, and would not listen 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 would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. |
| Ezekiel 20:9 | And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt. | But I did otherwise for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt. | But 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 forth out of the land of Egypt. |
| Ezekiel 20:10 | So I made them go out of the land of Egypt and took them into the waste land. | Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert. | So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. |
| Ezekiel 20:11 | And I gave them my rules and made clear to them my orders, which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him. | And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. | I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them. |
| Ezekiel 20:12 | And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord. | Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. | Moreover 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:13 | But the children of Israel would not be controlled by me in the waste land: they were not guided by my rules, and they were turned away from my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said that I would let loose my passion on them in the waste land, and put an end to them. | But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them. | But 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:14 | And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out. | But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight. | But 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:15 | And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands; | So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands. | Moreover 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; |
| Ezekiel 20:16 | Because they were turned away from my orders, and were not guided by my rules, and had no respect for my Sabbaths: for their hearts went after their images. | Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols. | because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. |
| Ezekiel 20:17 | But still my eye had pity on them and I kept them from destruction and did not put an end to them completely in the waste land. | Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert. | Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness. |
| Ezekiel 20:18 | And I said to their children in the waste land, Do not be guided by the rules of your fathers or keep their orders or make yourselves unclean with their images: | And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols: | I said to their children in the wilderness, Don't you walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols. |
| Ezekiel 20:19 | I am the Lord your God; be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: | I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them. | I am Yahweh your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; |
| Ezekiel 20:20 | And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God. | And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God. | and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God. |
| Ezekiel 20:21 | But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land. | But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shell live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert. | But 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:22 | And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out. | But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight. | Nevertheless 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 forth. |
| Ezekiel 20:23 | Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries; | Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries : | Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; |
| Ezekiel 20:24 | Because they had not done my orders, but had been turned away from my rules, and had not given respect to my Sabbaths, and their eyes were turned to the images of their fathers. | Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers. | because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols. |
| Ezekiel 20:25 | And further, I gave them rules which were not good and orders in which there was no life for them; | Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live. | Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live; |
| Ezekiel 20:26 | I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them. | And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord. | and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh. |
| Ezekiel 20:27 | For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me. | Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me; | Therefore, 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:28 | For when I had taken them into the land which I made an oath to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every branching tree and made their offerings there, moving me to wrath by their offerings; and there the sweet smell of their offerings went up and their drink offerings were drained out. | And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations. | For 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 sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink-offerings. |
| Ezekiel 20:29 | Then I said to them, What is this high place where you go to no purpose? And it is named Bamah to this day. | And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day. | Then I said to them, What means the high place whereunto you go? So the name of it is called Bamah to this day. |
| Ezekiel 20:30 | For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Are you making yourselves unclean as your fathers did? are you being untrue to me by going after their disgusting works? | Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations. | Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Do you pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and play you the prostitute after their abominations? |
| Ezekiel 20:31 | And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me. | And you defile yourselves with all your: idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you. | and 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; |
| Ezekiel 20:32 | And that which comes into your minds will never take place; when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, servants of wood and stone; | Neither shall the thought of your mind come to pass, by which you say: We will be as the Gentiles, and as the families of the earth, to worship stocks and stones. | and 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:33 | By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you: | As I live, saith the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. | As 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: |
| Ezekiel 20:34 | And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose: | And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries, in which you are scattered, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. | and 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; |
| Ezekiel 20:35 | And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face. | And I will bring you into the wilderness of people, and there will I plead with you face to face. | and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face. |
| Ezekiel 20:36 | As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord. | As I pleaded against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt; even so will I judge you, saith the Lord God. | Like 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. |
| Ezekiel 20:37 | And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number: | And I will make you subject to my sceptre, and will bring you into the bands of the covenant. | I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; |
| Ezekiel 20:38 | Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord. | And I will pick out from among you the transgressors, and the wicked, and will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord. | and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Yahweh. |
| Ezekiel 20:39 | As for you, O children of Israel, the Lord has said: Let every man completely put away his images and give ear to me: and let my holy name no longer be shamed by your offerings and your images. | And as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols; | As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Go you, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name shall you no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols. |
| Ezekiel 20:40 | For in my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, says the Lord, there all the children of Israel, all of them, will be my servants in the land; there I will take pleasure in them, and there I will be worshipped with your offerings and the first-fruits of the things you give, and with all your holy things. | In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications. | For 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. |

| Ezekiel 20:43 | And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done. | And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed. | There shall you 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. |
