Ezekiel 20:14-17

LITV(i) 14 But I worked for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, before whom I brought them out, in their eyes. 15 And I also lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey which I had given; it is the glory to all the lands, 16 because they despised My judgments, and they did not walk in My statutes, and they profaned My sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols. 17 And My eye spared them, from destroying them, and I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.
