Ezekiel 20:7-24

7I saidH559 to them, ‘1CastH7993 awayH7993, eachH376 of you, the detestableH8251 thingsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and 2do not defileH2930 yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714; 3I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’ 8But they 4rebelledH4784 against Me and were not willingH14 to listenH8085 to Me; 5they did not castH7993 awayH7993 the detestableH8251 thingsH8251 of their eyesH5869, norH3808 did they forsakeH5800 the 6idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714.

Then I 7resolvedH559 to 8pourH8210 out My wrathH2534 on them, to accomplishH3615 My angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9But I actedH6213 9for the sakeH4616 of My nameH8034, that it should 10not be profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471 amongH8432 whomH834 they lived, in whoseH834 sightH5869 I madeH3045 Myself knownH3045 to them by bringingH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 10So I tookH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and broughtH935 them into the 11wildernessH4057. 11I gaveH5414 them My 12statutesH2708 and informedH3045 them of My ordinancesH4941, by 13whichH834, if a manH120 14observesH6213 them, he will liveH2421. 12AlsoH1571 I gaveH5414 them My sabbathsH7676 to be a 15signH226 betweenH996 Me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 who sanctifiesH6942 them. 13But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 16rebelledH4784 against Me in the wildernessH4057. They did not walkH1980 in My statutesH2708 and they rejectedH3988 My ordinancesH4941, 17by whichH834, if a manH120 18observesH6213 them, he will liveH2421; and My 19sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 profanedH2490. Then I 20resolvedH559 to 21pourH8210 out My wrathH2534 on them in the wildernessH4057, to annihilateH3615 them. 14But I actedH6213 for the sakeH4616 of My nameH8034, that it should not be profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, before whoseH834 sightH5869 I had broughtH3318 them out. 15AlsoH1571 22I sworeH5375H3027 to them in the wildernessH4057 that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 whichH834 I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, whichH1931 is the gloryH6643 of allH3605 landsH776, 16becauseH3282 they rejectedH3988 My ordinancesH4941, and as for My statutesH2708, they did not walkH1980 in them; they even profanedH2490 My sabbathsH7676, for their 23heartH3820 continually wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544. 17Yet My eyeH5869 sparedH2347 them ratherH4480 thanH4480 destroyingH7843 them, and I did not causeH6213 their 24annihilationH3617 in the wildernessH4057.

18“I saidH559 to their 2526childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, ‘27Do not walkH1980 in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1 or keepH8104 their ordinancesH4941 or defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544. 1928I am the LordH3068 your GodH430; 29walkH1980 in My statutesH2708 and keepH8104 My ordinancesH4941 and 30observeH6213 them. 2031SanctifyH6942 My sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 betweenH996 Me and you, that you may knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’ 21But the 32childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against Me; they did not walkH1980 in My statutesH2708, norH3808 were they carefulH8104 to observeH6213 My ordinancesH4941, by whichH834, if a manH120 observesH6213 them, he will liveH2421; they profanedH2490 My sabbathsH7676. So I 33resolvedH559 to pourH8210 out My wrathH2534 on them, to accomplishH3615 My angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057. 22But I 34withdrewH7725 My handH3027 and actedH6213 35for the sakeH4616 of My nameH8034, that it should not be profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471 in whoseH834 sightH5869 I had broughtH3318 them out. 23AlsoH1571 I sworeH5375H3027 to them in the wildernessH4057 that I would 36scatterH6327 them among the nationsH1471 and disperseH2219 them among the landsH776, 24becauseH3282 they had not observedH6213 My ordinancesH4941, but had rejectedH3988 My statutesH2708 and had profanedH2490 My sabbathsH7676, and 37their eyesH5869 were 38on the idolsH1544 of their fathersH1.
