Ezekiel 20:21-23

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."
