19:7. He learned to make widows, and to lay waste their cities: and the
land became desolate, and the fulness thereof by the noise of his
roaring.
19:8. And the nations came together against him on every side out of the
provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was
taken.
19:9. And they put him into a cage, they brought him in chains to the
king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no
more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
19:10. Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood planted by the water: her
fruit and her branches have grown out of many waters.
19:11. And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear
rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her
height in the multitude of her branches.
19:12. But she was plucked up in wrath, and cast on the ground, and the
burning wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods are withered, and dried
up: the fire hath devoured her.
19:13. And now she is transplanted into the desert, in a land not
passable, and dry.
19:14. And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath
devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre
of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation.
Ezechiel Chapter 20
God refuses to answer the ancients of Israel inquiring by the prophet:
but by him setteth his benefits before their eyes, and their heinous
sins: threatening yet greater punishments: but still mixed with mercy.
20:1. 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.
20:2. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
20:3. 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.
20:4. If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, O son of man, declare to
them the abominations of their fathers.
If thou judgest them... Or, if thou wilt enter into the cause and plead
against them.
20:5. 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:
20:6. 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 excelled amongst all lands.
20:7. 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.
Scandals, etc... Offensiones. That is, the abominations or idols, to the
worship of which they were allured by their eyes.
20:8. 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.
20:9. 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.
20:10. Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought
them into the desert.
