Ezekiel 20:14-17

MKJV(i) 14 But I worked for My name's sake, so that it should not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I brought them out. 15 And also I lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey; it is the glory of all lands; 16 because they despised My judgments and walked not in My sabbaths; and they profaned My sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols. 17 But My eye spared them from destroying them, nor did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
