20 Et factum est in anno septimo, in quinto, in decima mensis ; venerunt viri de senioribus Israel ut interrogarent Dominum, et sederunt coram me.

² Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

³ Fili hominis, loquere senioribus Israel, et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid ad interrogandum me vos venistis? vivo ego quia non respondebo vobis, ait Dominus Deus.

⁴ Si judicas eos, si judicas fili hominis, abominationes patrum eorum ostende eis.

⁵ Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: in die, qua elegi Israel, et levavi manum meam pro stirpe domus Jacob, et apparui eis in terra Ægypti, et levavi manum meam pro eis, dicens: Ego Dominus Deus vester;

⁶ In die illa levavi manum meam pro eis, ut educerem eos de terra Ægypti, in terram quam provideram eis, fluentem lacte, et melle ; quæ est egregia inter omnes terras.

⁷ Et dixi ad eos: Unusquisque offensiones oculorum suorum abjiciat, et in idolis Ægypti nolite pollui; ego Dominus Deus vester.

⁸ Et irritaverunt me, nolueruntque me audire; unusquisque abominationes oculorum suorum non projecit, nec idola Ægypti reliquerunt ; et dixi ut effunderem indignationem meam super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis, in medio terræ Ægypti.

⁹ Et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram gentibus, in quarum medio erant, et inter quas apparui eis ut educerem eos de terra Ægypti.

¹⁰ Ejeci ergo eos de terra Ægypti, et eduxi eos in desertum.

¹¹ Et dedi eis præcepta mea, et judicia mea ostendi eis, quæ faciens hom*o, vivet in eis.

¹² Insuper et sabbata mea dedi eis, ut essent signum inter me et eos ; et scirent quia ego Dominus sanctificans eos.

¹³ Et irritaverunt me domus Israel in deserto, in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et judicia mea projecerunt, quæ faciens hom*o vivet in eis ; et sabbata mea violaverunt vehementer ; dixi ergo ut effunderem furorem meum super eos in deserto, et consumerem eos.

¹⁴ Et feci propter nomen meum, ne violaretur coram gentibus, de quibus ejeci eos in conspectu earum.

¹⁵ Ego igitur levavi manum meam super eos in deserto, ne inducerem eos in terram, quam dedi eis, fluentem lacte, et melle, præcipuam terrarum omnium;

¹⁶ Quia judicia mea projecerunt, et in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt, et sabbata mea violaverunt; post idola enim cor eorum gradiebatur.

¹⁷ Et pepercit oculus meus super eos, ut non interficerem eos; nec consumpsi eos in deserto.

¹⁸ Dixi autem ad filios eorum in solitudine: In præceptis patrum vestrorum nolite incedere, nec judicia eorum custodiatis, nec in idolis eorum polluamini.

¹⁹ Ego Dominus Deus vester; in præceptis meis ambulate, judicia mea custodite, et facite ea ;

²⁰ Et sabbata mea sanctificate ut sint signum inter me et vos, et sciatis quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.

²¹ Et exacerbaverunt me filii, in præceptis meis non ambulaverunt ; et judicia mea non custodierunt ut facerent ea ; quæ cum fecerit hom*o, vivet in eis : et sabbata mea violaverunt ; et comminatus sum ut effunderem furorem meum super eos, et implerem iram meam in eis in deserto.

²² Averti autem manum meam, et feci propter nomen meum, ut non violaretur coram gentibus, de quibus ejeci eos in oculis earum.

²³ Iterum levavi manum meam in eos in solitudine, ut dispergerem illos in nationes, et ventilarem in terras ;

²⁴ Eo quod judicia mea non fecissent, et præcepta mea reprobassent, et sabbata mea violassent, et post idola patrum suorum fuissent oculi eorum.

²⁵ Ergo et ego dedi eis præcepta non bona, et judicia in quibus non vivent.

²⁶ Et pollui eos in muneribus suis, cum offerrent omne, quod aperit vulvam, propter delicta sua; et scient quia ego Dominus.

²⁷ Quam ob rem loquere ad domum Israel, fili hominis ; et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Adhuc et in hoc blasphemaverunt me patres vestri, cum sprevissent me contemnentes ;

²⁸ Et induxissem eos in terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut darem eis; viderunt omnem collem excelsum, et omne lignum nemorosum, et immolaverunt ibi victimas suas ; et dederunt ibi irritationem oblationis suæ, et posuerunt ibi odorem suavitatis suæ, et libaverunt libationes suas.

²⁹ Et dixi ad eos: Quid est excelsum, ad quod vos ingredimini? et vocatum est nomen ejus excelsum usque ad hanc diem.

³⁰ Propterea dic ad domum Israel: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Certe in via patrum vestrorum vos polluimini, et post offendicula eorum vos fornicamini;

³¹ Et in oblatione donorum vestrorum, cum traducitis filios vestros per ignem, vos polluimini in omnibus idolis vestris usque hodie; et ego respondebo vobis domus Israel? Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia non respondebo vobis.

³² Neque cogitatio mentis vestræ fiet, dicentium: Erimus sicut gentes, et sicut cognationes terræ ut colamus ligna, et lapides.

³³ Vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quoniam in manu forti, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso regnabo super vos.

³⁴ Et educam vos de populis ; et congregabo vos de terris, in quibus dispersi estis, in manu valida, et in brachio extento, et in furore effuso regnabo super vos.

³⁵ Et adducam vos in desertum populorum, et judicabor vobiscum ibi facie ad faciem.

³⁶ Sicut judicio contendi adversum patres vestros in deserto terræ Ægypti, sic judicabo vos, dicit Dominus Deus.

³⁷ Et subjiciam vos sceptro meo, et inducam vos in vinculis fœderis.

³⁸ Et eligam de vobis transgressores, et impios, et de terra incolatus eorum educam eos, et in terram Israel non ingredientur; et scietis quia ego Dominus.

³⁹ Et vos domus Israel, hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Singuli post idola vestra ambulate, et servite eis. Quod si et in hoc non audieritis me, et nomen meum sanctum pollueritis ultra in muneribus vestris, et in idolis vestris;

⁴⁰ In monte sancto meo, in monte excelso Israel, ait Dominus Deus, ibi serviet mihi omnis domus Israel; omnes inquam, in terra, in qua placebunt mihi, et ibi quæram primitias vestras, et initium decimarum vestrarum in omnibus sanctificationibus vestris.

⁴¹ In odorem suavitatis suscipiam vos, cum eduxero vos de populis, et congregavero vos de terris in quas dispersi estis, et sanctificabor in vobis in oculis nationum.

⁴² Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum induxero vos ad terram Israel, in terram, pro qua levavi manum meam, ut darem eam patribus vestris.

⁴³ Et recordabimini ibi viarum vestrarum, et omnium scelerum vestrorum, quibus polluti estis in eis; et displicebitis vobis in conspectu vestro in omnibus malitiis vestris, quas fecistis.

⁴⁴ Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum benefecero vobis propter nomen meum, et non secundum vias vestras malas, neque secundum scelera vestra pessima domus Israel, ait Dominus Deus.

⁴⁵ Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

⁴⁶ Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra viam Austri, et stilla ad Africum, et propheta ad saltum agri meridiani.

⁴⁷ Et dices saltui meridiano: Audi verbum Domini: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego succendam in te ignem, et comburam in te omne lignum viride, et omne lignum aridum; non extinguetur flamma succensionis; et comburetur in ea omnis facies ab austro usque ad aquilonem,

⁴⁸ Et videbit universa caro, quia ego Dominus succendi eam, nec extinguetur.

⁴⁹ Et dixi: A a a, Domine Deus; ipsi dic*nt de me: Numquid non per parabolas loquitur iste?
