I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them. ¹⁴ But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight. ¹⁵ So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands. ¹⁶ Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols. ¹⁷ Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert. ¹⁸ And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols: ¹⁹ I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them. ²⁰ And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God. ²¹ But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert. ²² But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight. ²³ Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries: ²⁴ Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers. ²⁵ Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live. ²⁶ And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord. ²⁷ Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blaspheme me, when they had despised and contemned me; ²⁸ And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations. ²⁹ And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day. ³⁰ Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations. ³¹ And you defile yourselves with all your idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you. ³² Neither shall the thought of your mind come to pass, by which you say: We will be as the Gentiles, and as the families of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.
