Ezekiel 20:13-14

13“‘But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not follow my statutes and they rejected my ordinances — the person who does them will live by them. They also completely profaned my Sabbaths. So I considered pouring out my wrath on them in the wilderness to put an end to them.

14But I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
