Ezekiel 20:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Because they cast away my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but have polluted my [a]Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
17 Nevertheless, mine eye spared them, that I would not destroy them, neither would I consume them in the wilderness.
18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the ordinances of your [b]fathers, neither observe their manners, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
