14 But I acted so that my name should not be altogether profaned in the sight of the nations, before whose eyes I had brought them out:
15 and I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness thus far; that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, [a land flowing with milk and honey: it is the honey comb of the whole earth]
16 because they had rejected my rules of rectitude, and had not walked in my statutes; but profaned my sabbaths, and had gone after the desires of their own heart.
17 But mine eye had compassion on them so as not to blot them out entirely; so I did not bring them to utter destruction in the wilderness.
