Ezekiel 20:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ I raised my hand and swore an oath to them in the desert. I promised to scatter them among the nations and force them into other countries. ²⁴ They didn’t follow my rules, and they rejected my laws. They dishonored the days to worship me, and they looked to their ancestors’ disgusting idols for help. ²⁵ I also allowed them to follow laws that were no good and rules by which they could not live.
