Ezekiel 20:18-26

18And I saidH559 unto their children in the wildernessH4057, Walk ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their ordinancesH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselvesH2930 with their idolsH1544. 19I am Jehovah your GodH430: walk in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 mine ordinancesH4941, and do them; 20and hallow my sabbathsH7676; and they shall beH1961 a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am Jehovah your GodH430. 21But the children rebelledH4784 against me; they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 mine ordinancesH4941 to do them, which if a manH120 do, he shall live in them; they profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676. Then I saidH559 I would pourH8210 out my wrathH2534 upon them, to accomplish my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057. 22Nevertheless I withdrew my handH3027, and wrought for my name’sH8034 sakeH4616, that it should not be profanedH2490 in the sight of the nationsH1471, in whose sight I broughtH3318 them forthH3318. 23Moreover I sware unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH2219 them among the nationsH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countries; 24because they had not executed mine ordinancesH4941, but had rejectedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 wereH1961 after their fathers’H1 idolsH1544. 25Moreover alsoH1571 I gaveH5414 them statutesH2706 that were not goodH2896, and ordinancesH4941 wherein they should not liveH2421; 26and I polluted them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to passH5674 through the fire all that openeth the wombH7356, that I might makeH3045 them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am Jehovah.
