Ezekiel 20:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands.

¹⁶ Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols.

¹⁷ Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.
