Ezekiel 20:13-18

Rotherham(i) 13 But the house of Israel, rebelled against me, in the desert, In my statutes, walked they not, And my regulations, they rejected, By the which the man, that doeth them, shall live, My sabbaths also, they profaned exceedingly. Therefore spake I of pouring out mine indignation upon them in the desert, to make an end of them. 14 Howbeit I wrought with effect, for the sake of mine own Name,––that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose eyes I had brought them forth. 15 Yet, even I, lifted up my hand to them, in the desert,––That I would not bring them into the land which I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, The beauty, it was, of all lands: 16 Because, my regulations, they had rejected, And, as for my statutes, they had not walked therein, My sabbaths also, had they profaned; For, after their manufactured gods, their heart, had been going. 17 Nevertheless mine eye, threw a shield, over them, that they should not be destroyed; So I made not of them a full end, in the desert. 18 But I said unto their children, in the desert, In the statutes of your fathers, let it not be that ye walk, And their regulations, let it not be that ye observe,––And with their manufactured gods, let it not be that ye defile yourselves.
