Ezekiel:20:13-18

*
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness :
they walked not in my statutes ,
and they despised my judgments ,
which if a man do ,
he shall even live in them ;
and my sabbaths they greatly polluted :
then I said ,
I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness ,
to consume them .
*
But I wrought for my names sake ,
that it should not be polluted before the heathen ,
in whose sight I brought them out .
*
Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness ,
that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them ,
flowing with milk and honey ,
which is the glory of all lands ;
*
Because they despised my judgments ,
and walked not in my statutes ,
but polluted my sabbaths :
for their heart went after their idols .
*
Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them ,
neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness .
*
But I said unto their children in the wilderness ,
Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers ,
neither observe their judgments ,
nor defile yourselves with their idols :
