Ezekiel 20:14-16

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁴ But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

¹⁵ Yet 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; ¹⁶ because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
