Ezekiel 20:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ But I acted because of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out. ¹⁵ However, I swore^[a] to them^(A) in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land I had given them—the most beautiful of all lands, flowing with milk and honey— ¹⁶ because they rejected My ordinances, profaned My Sabbaths, and did not follow My statutes. For their hearts went after their idols.^(B)
