Ezekiel 20:21-24

CLV(i) 21 And--the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed--to do them, Which the man who does--lives by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness." 22 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out." 23 I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands." 24 Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been."
