Ezekiel
Chapters 20:14-20
Revised Version 1885
14But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
15Moreover also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
16because they rejected my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
17Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
18And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
19I am the Lord your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them:
20and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.
