Ezekiel 20:13-20

Ezekiel 20:13-20

[13] But the house  of Israel  rebelled  against me in the wilderness:  they walked  not in my statutes,  and they despised  my judgments,  which if a man  do,  he shall even live  in them; and my sabbaths  they greatly  polluted:  then I said,  I would pour out  my fury  upon them in the wilderness,  to consume  them. [14] But I wrought  for my name's  sake, that it should not be polluted  before  the heathen,  in whose sight  I brought them out.  [15] Yet also I lifted up  my hand  unto them in the wilderness,  that I would not bring  them into the land  which I had given  them, flowing  with milk  and honey,  which is the glory  of all lands;  [16] Because they despised  my judgments,  and walked  not in my statutes,  but polluted  my sabbaths:  for their heart  went  after  their idols.  [17] Nevertheless mine eye  spared  them from destroying  them, neither did I make  an end  of them in the wilderness.  [18] But I said  unto their children  in the wilderness,  ye not in the statutes  of your fathers,  neither observe  their judgments,  nor defile  yourselves with their idols:  [19] I am the LORD  your God;  in my statutes,  and keep  my judgments,  and do  [20] And hallow  my sabbaths;  and they shall be a sign  between me and you, that ye may know  that I am the LORD  your God.
