Ezekiel 20:13-17
English Standard Version
14But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
15Moreover, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands,
16because they rejected my rules and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
17Nevertheless, my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them or make a full end of them in the wilderness.
