5 and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: ^yOn the day when I chose Israel, ^zI swore¹ to the offspring of the house of Jacob, ^amaking myself known to them in the land of Egypt; ^zI swore to them, saying, I am the Lord your God. 6 On that day I swore to them that ^bI would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land ^bflowing with milk and honey, ^cthe most glorious of all lands. 7 And I said to them, ^d‘Cast away the detestable things ^eyour eyes feast on, every one of you, and do not defile yourselves with ^fthe idols of Egypt; ^gI am the Lord your God.’ 8 ^hBut they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. ⁱNone of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.

“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them ^jand spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
