Ezekiel 20:5-9

5and sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the Lord Jehovah: In the dayH3117 when I choseH977 IsraelH3478, and sware unto the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and madeH3045 myself knownH3045 unto them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I sware unto them, sayingH559, I am Jehovah your GodH430; 6in that dayH3117 I sware unto them, to bringH3318 them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had searched out for them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the glory of all landsH776. 7And I saidH559 unto them, CastH7993 ye awayH7993 every manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 not yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714; I am Jehovah your GodH430. 8But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearken unto me; they did not every manH376 castH7993 awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714. Then I saidH559 I wouldH14 pourH8210 out my wrathH2534 upon them, to accomplish my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9But I wrought for my name’sH8034 sakeH4616, that it should not be profanedH2490 in the sight of the nationsH1471, among which they were, in whose sight I madeH6213 myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringingH3318 them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
