Ezekiel 20:13-24

13But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doethH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 profanedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them. 14But I wroughtH6213 for my name’sH8034 sake, that it should not be profanedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318. 15Yet also I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 to them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776; 16Because they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, but profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544. 17Nevertheless my eyeH5869 sparedH2347 them from destroyingH7843 them, neither did I makeH6213 an endH3617 of them in the wildernessH4057. 18But I saidH559 to their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544: 19I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them; 20And hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430. 21However the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doethH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057. 22Nevertheless I withdrewH7725 my handH3027, and wroughtH6213 for my name’sH8034 sake, that it should not be profanedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them forthH3318. 23I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 to them also in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776; 24Because they had not executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, but had despisedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 were afterH310 their fathersH1’ idolsH1544.
