¶ The .xiiij. Chapter.
¶ The Lorde denyeth hys worde to the people for their
synnes sake The dispysers of the worde doth the Lorde
sometyme deceaue by false prophetes. A comforte of th&ebar;
that fledde vnto Babylon.
A There resorted note vnto me certayne
of the elders of Israel, ∧ sat downe
by me. Then came the worde
of þe; Lorde vnto me, say&ebar;g: Thou
sonne of m&abar;, these men beare their
vnclennes in theyr hertes, and go purposly
vpon the stomblynge blocke of theyr awne
wyckednesse: shulde I then answer at their
request? Therfore speake vnto them, ∧ saye:
thus sayeth the Lorde God: Euery man of
the house of Israel that beareth hys vncleane
Idols in hys herte, purposynge to stomble
in hys awne wyckednesse, and commeth
to a prophet, to enquere eny thinge at me by
him: vnto that m&abar; wyll I the Lorde myselfe
geue answere, accordynge to the multitude
of hys Idols: that the house of Israel maye
be snared in their awne hertes, because they
be clene gone fro me, for their abhominaci&obar;s
sakes.
B Wherfore, tell the house of Israel: thus
sayeth the Lorde God: note Be conuerted, forsake
youre Idols, and turne youre wyues
from youre fylthynesse, and turne youre faces
fr&obar; all youre abhominacions. For euery
man, (whether he be of the house of Israel or
a straunger, þt; sogeourneth in Israel) whych
departeth fro me, and caryeth Idols in hys
herte, purposynge to go styll st&obar;blyng in his
awne wyckednesse, and commeth to a Prophet,
for to aske councell at me thorow hym:
vnto that man will I the Lord geue answere,
by myne awne selfe. I wyll set my face agaynst
that man,
C and wyll make hym to be
an example for other, yee, and a comen byworde:
and wyll rote him out of my people,
that he may know, how that I am the Lorde. note
and yf that Prophete be disceaued, wh&ebar;
he telleth hym a worde: then I the Lorde my
selfe haue disceaued that Prophet, and wyll
stretch forth myne hande vpon hym, to rote
hym out of my people of Israel: and they
both shalbe punyshed for theyr wyckednes.
Accordynge to the synne of hym that asketh,
shall the synne of the Prophete be:
D
that the house of Israel be led nomore fro
me thorowe erroure, and be no more defyled
in their wyckednesse: but that they maye be
my people, ∧ I theyr God, sayeth the Lorde
God. And the worde of the Lord came vnto
-- --
me, sayenge: Thou sonne of man, when the
lande synneth agaynst me, ∧ goeth forth in
wyckednesse: I will stretch out myne hande
vpon it, note ∧ destroye all the prouisy&obar; of their
bred, and sende derth vpon them, to destroye
man ∧ beest in the lande. noteAnd though Noe,
Daniel ∧ Iob, these thre men were amonge
them, yet shall they in their ryghtuousnesse
delyuer but their awne soules, sayeth þe; Lorde
God.
E If I brynge noysome beastes into
the lande, to waste it vp, ∧ it be so desolate,
that no man may go therin for beastes: yf
these thre men also were in the lande, as truly
as I lyue (sayeth þe; Lorde God) they shall
saue nether sonnes ner daughters, but be only
delyuered them selues: and as for the l&abar;de,
it shall be waste.
F Or yf I brynge a swearde into the l&abar;de,
∧ charge it to go thorowe the l&abar;de: so that I
slaye downe man ∧ beast in it, ∧ yf these thre
men were therin: As truly as I lyue (sayeth
þe; Lorde God) they shall delyuer nether sonnes
ner daughters, but only be saued them
selues. If I sende a pestilence into the lande,
∧ poure out my sore indignacyon vpon it in
bloude, so that I rote out of it both man and
beast. And yf Noe, Daniel ∧ Iob were therin:
as truly as I lyue (sayeth þe; Lorde God)
they shall delyuer nether sonnes ner daughters,
but saue their awne soules in their rightuousnes.
Moreouer, thus sayeth the Lorde
God:
G Moch more when I sende my note foure
troublous plages vpon Ierusalem: the swearde
honger, perlous beastes ∧ pestylence, to
destroye m&abar; and beast out of it. Beholde ther
shall be a remna&ubar;t saued therin, which shall
bringe forth their sonnes and daughters. Beholde,
they shall come forth vnto you, and ye
shall se their waye, and what they take in
hande, and ye shall be c&obar;forted, as touchinge
all the plages that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem.
They shall comforte you, when ye
se their waye and worckes: and ye shall knowe,
howe that it is not without a cause, that
I haue done so agaynst Ierusal&ebar;, as I dyd,
sayeth the Lorde God.
