Ezekiel 20:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ On that day I swore to them with an uplifted hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt to a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey. It was the most glorious of all the lands. ⁷ I said to them, “Each man must throw away the loathsome things he sets his eyes on. You must not defile yourselves with the filthy idols^[a] of Egypt. I am the Lord, your God.”

⁸ But they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. Not one of them threw away the loathsome things which they set their eyes on. They did not forsake the filthy idols of Egypt, so I resolved to pour out my wrath on them and to exhaust my anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
