Ezekiel 20:18-26

18And I saidH559 unto their children in the wildernessH4057, Walk not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither keepH8104 their ordinancesH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselvesH2930 with their idolsH1544.

19I [am] Jehovah your 1GodH430: 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 2GodH430.

21And 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 by them; they profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: and I saidH559 I would pourH8210 out my fury upon them, to accomplish mine angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.

22But I withdrew my handH3027, and wrought for my name's sakeH4616, that it should not be profanedH2490 in the sight of the nationsH1471, in whose sight I had broughtH3318 them out.

23I liftedH5375 up my handH3027 alsoH1571 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH2219 them among the nationsH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countries;

24because they performed not mine ordinancesH4941, and rejectedH3988 my statutesH2708, and profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 wereH1961 after their fathers' idolsH1544.

25And I alsoH1571 gaveH5414 them statutesH2706 that were not goodH2896, and ordinancesH4941 whereby they should not liveH2421;

26and I defiledH2930 them by their own giftsH4979, in that they devoted all that opened the wombH7356, that I might makeH3045 them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I [am] Jehovah.
