Ezekiel 20:18-26

18And I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, Walk ye notH408 in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neitherH408 observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, norH408 defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:

19I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; walk in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them:

20and hallow my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 betweenH996 meH589 and youH3588, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.

21But the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 againstH5921 meH5921; they walkedH1980 notH3808 in my statutesH2708, neitherH3808 keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, whichH834 ifH834 a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH1980 in them; they profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559 I would pourH8210 outH8210 my furyH2534 uponH5921 them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 againstH5921 them in the wildernessH4057.

22Nevertheless I withdrewH7725 mine handH3027, and wrought for my name’sH8034 sakeH4616, that it should notH1115 he profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, in whoseH834 sightH5869 I broughtH3318 them forthH3318.

23MoreoverH1571 I liftedH5375 upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH2219 them among the nationsH1471, and disperseH2219 them throughH3027 the countriesH776,

24becauseH3282 they had notH3808 executed my judgmentsH4941, but had rejectedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 were afterH310 their fathers’H1 idolsH1544.

25MoreoverH1571 also I gaveH5414 them statutesH2706 that were notH3808 goodH2896, and judgmentsH4941 wherein they should notH3808 liveH2421;

26and I polluted them in their own giftsH4979, in that they causedH834 to passH5674 throughH5674 the fire allH3605 that openeth the wombH7356, that I might makeH3045 them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
