Ezekiel 20:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ But that would have disgraced me, because many other nations had seen me bring the Israelites out of Egypt. ^15 (A) Instead, I told them in the desert that I would not lead them into the beautiful, fertile land I had promised. ¹⁶ I said this because they had not only ignored my laws and teachings, but had disgraced my Sabbath and worshiped idols.
