Ezekiel 20:21-24 But they provoked me, and their children walked not in my commandments, and they took no heed to mine ordinances to do them, which if a man shall do, he shall even live in them, and they profaned my sabbaths: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to accomplish mine anger upon them.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ But they provoked me, and their children walked not in my commandments, and they took no heed to mine ordinances to do them, which if a man shall do, he shall even live in them, and they profaned my sabbaths: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to accomplish mine anger upon them. ²² But I wrought so that my name might not be at all profaned before the Gentiles; and I brought them out in their sight. ²³ I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles, and disperse them in the countries; ²⁴ because they kept not mine ordinances, and rejected my commandments, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes went after the imaginations of their fathers.
