Ezekiel 20:7-24

7And I saidH559 unto them, CastH7993 ye awayH7993 everyH376 manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 notH408 yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714; I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.

8But they rebelledH4784 againstH5921 meH413, and would notH3808 hearken unto meH413; they didH3808 notH3808 everyH376 manH376 castH7993 awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neitherH3808 didH3808 they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559 I would pourH8210 outH8210 my furyH2534 uponH5921 them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 againstH5921 them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

9But I wrought for my name’sH8034 sakeH4616, that it should notH1115 be profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, among whomH834 they were, in whoseH834 sightH5869 I madeH6213 myselfH3045 knownH3045 unto them, in bringingH3318 them forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

10SoH3318 I caused them to goH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 them intoH413 the wildernessH4057.

11And I gaveH5414 them my statutesH2708, and shewed them my judgmentsH4941, whichH834 ifH834 a manH120 doH6213, he shall live in them.

12MoreoverH1571 also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 betweenH996 meH5414 and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.

13But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 againstH5921 meH5921 in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 notH3808 in my statutesH2708, and they rejectedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, whichH834 ifH834 a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH1980 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 profanedH2490: then I saidH559 I would pourH8210 outH8210 my furyH2534 uponH5921 them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.

14But I wrought for my name’sH8034 sakeH4616, that it should notH1115 be profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, in whoseH834 sightH5869 I broughtH3318 them outH3318.

15MoreoverH1571 also I liftedH5375 upH5375 my handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would notH1115 bringH935 them intoH413 the landH776 whichH834 I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, whichH834 is the glory of allH3605 landsH776;

16becauseH3588 they rejectedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 notH3808 in my statutesH2708, and profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544.

17Nevertheless mine eyeH5869 sparedH2347 them from destroyingH7843 them, neitherH3808 didH6213 I makeH6213 a fullH3617 endH3617 of them in the wildernessH4057.

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.
