Ezekiel 20:16-21
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
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.
18"And I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their rules, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
19I am the Lord your God; walk in my statutes, and be careful to obey my rules,
20and keep my Sabbaths holy that they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’
21But the children rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes and were not careful to obey my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; they profaned my Sabbaths. "Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.
