Ezekiel 20:6-14

Rotherham(i) 6 In that day, lifted I up my hand to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt,––into a land that I had looked out for them, flowing with milk and honey, The beauty, it was, of all lands. 7 And I said unto them., Every one, the abomination of his eyes, cast ye away, And, with the manufactured gods of Egypt, let it not be that ye defile yourselves: I, Yahweh, am your God. 8 But they rebelled against me, And were not willing to hearken unto me, Every man, the abominations of their eyes, they cast not away, And, the manufactured gods of Egypt, forsook they not; Therefore spake I of pouring out mine indignation upon them, to bring mine anger to an end against them, in the midst of the land of Egypt. 9 Howbeit I wrought with effect, for the sake of mine own Name, that it might not be profaned––before the eyes of the nations in whose midst they were,––before whose eyes I made myself known unto them, by bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
10 Therefore brought I them forth out of the land of Egypt,––and caused them to come into the desert. 11 Then gave I unto them my statutes, And, my regulations, caused I them to know,––By the which the man, that doeth them, shall live. 12 Moreover also, my sabbaths, gave I unto them, to become a sign betwixt me and them,––that it might be known, that, I, Yahweh, was hallowing them. 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.
