Ezekiel 20:13

9But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

10So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.

11I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

12Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

13“‘“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They didn’t walk in my statutes and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

14But I worked 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 swore to 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 ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

17Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full end of them in the wilderness.
