Ezekiel 20:14-17

Matthew(i) 14 Yet I would not do it, for my names sake: lest it shoulde be dishonoured before the Heathen, from the which I had caried them away. 15 But I swore vnto them in the wildernesse, that I woulde not byrnge them into the lande, whiche I gaue them, a land that floweth with milck and honye, and is a pleasure of all landes, 16 and that because they refused my lawes, and walcked not in my commaundementes, but and vnhalowed my Sabbathes, for their herte was gone after their Idoles. 17 Neuerthelesse myne eye spared them so that I woulde not vtterly slaye them, and consume them in the wyldernes.
