27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his
wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is
according to Torah and mishpat, he shall save his being
alive.
28 Because he sees, and turns away from all his
transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live,
he shall not die.
29 Yet says Beit Yisrael, The derech of vuvh is not equal.
O Beit Yisrael, are not My derachot equal? Are not your
derachot unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O Beit Yisrael, every one
according to his own halachot, says the Master vuvh.
Make teshuvah, and turn yourselves from all your
transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which
you have transgressed; and make for yourselves a new lev
and a new Ruach: for why will you die, O Beit
Yisrael? 2417
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dies,
says the Master vuvh: therefore make teshuvah for
yourselves, and live.

Moreover take up a lamentation for the leaders of
Yisrael,
2 And say, What a lioness was your eema: she lay down
among lions, she nourished her cubs among young lions.
3 And she brought up one of her cubs: it became a young
lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit,
and they brought him with chains to the land of
Mitzrayim.
5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her tikvah
was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him
a young lion.
6 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a
young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured
men. 2418
7 And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste
their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fullness of
it, by the noise of his roaring.
8 Then the nations set themselves against him on every
side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he
was taken in their pit.
9 And they put him in a cage in chains, and brought him
to the melech of Bavel: they brought him in nets, that his
voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of
Yisrael. 2419
10 Your eema is like a vine in your bloodline, planted by
the mayim: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason
of many mayim.
11 And she had strong rods for the scepters of them that
had rule, and her size was exalted among the thick
branches, and she appeared in her height with the
multitude of her branches.
12 But she was plucked up in anger, she was cast down to
the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her
strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed
them.
13 And now she is planted in the wilderness, 2420 in a dry
and thirsty ground.
14 And fire has gone out of a rod from her branches,
which has devoured her fruit, so that she has no strong
rod to be a scepter to rule. This is a lament, and shall be
YECHEZKEL - EZEKIEL

for a lamentation.

And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth
month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the
zechanim of Yisrael came to inquire of vuvh, and sat
before me.
2 Then came the word of vuvh to me, saying,
3 Ben-adam, speak to the zechanim of Yisrael, and say to
them, This says the Master vuvh; Have you come to seek
Me? As I live, says the Master vuvh, I will not be sought
by you.
4 Will you judge them, Ben-adam, will you judge them?
Make them to know the abominations of their ahvot:
5 And say to them, This says the Master vuvh; In the day
when I chose Yisrael, and lifted up My hand to the zera of
Beit Yaakov, and made Myself known to them in the land
of Mitzrayim, when I lifted up My hand to them, saying, I
am vuvh your Elohim;
6 In the day that I lifted up My hand to them, to bring
them out of the land of Mitzrayim into a land that I had
searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey,
which is the tifereth of all lands:
7 Then said I to them, Cast away every man the
abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with
the idols of Mitzrayim: I am vuvh your Elohim.
8 But they rebelled against Me, and would not listen to
Me: they did not cast away the abominations of their
eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Mitzrayim: then
I said, I will pour out My anger upon them to accomplish
My anger against them in the midst of the land of
Mitzrayim.
9 But I acted for My Name's sake, that it should not be
defiled before the gentiles, among whom they were, in
whose sight I made Myself known to them, in bringing
them out of the land of Mitzrayim.
10 Therefore I caused them to go out of the land of
Mitzrayim, and brought them into the wilderness.
11 And I gave them My chukim, and taught them My
mishpatim, which if a man does; he shall even live in
them. 2421
12 Moreover also I gave them My Shabbats, to be an ot
between Me and them, that they might know that I am
vuvh that sets them apart.
13 But Beit Yisrael rebelled against Me in the wilderness:
2422 they had their halacha not in My chukim, and they
despised My mishpatim, which if a man does, he shall
even live in them; and My Shabbats they greatly defiled:
then I said, I would pour out My anger upon them in the
wilderness, to consume them.
14 But I did act for My Name's sake, that it should not be
defiled before the gentiles, in whose sight I brought them
out.
15 Yet also I lifted up My hand 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
tifereth of all lands;
16 Because they despised My mishpatim, and they did not
have their halacha in My chukim, but defiled My
Shabbats: for their lev went after their idols.
17 Nevertheless My eye spared them from destroying
them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
18 But I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not
have your halacha in the chukim of your ahvot, neither
