Ezekiel:20:11-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I gave them my statutes ,
and shewed them my judgments ,
which if a man do ,
he shall even live in them .
*
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths ,
to be a sign between me and them ,
that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them .
*
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 :
*
I am the LORD your God ;
walk in my statutes ,
and keep my judgments ,
and do them ;
*
And hallow my sabbaths ;
and they shall be a sign between me and you ,
that ye may know that I am the LORD your God .
*
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me :
they walked not in my statutes ,
neither kept my judgments to do them ,
which if a man do ,
he shall even live in them ;
they polluted my sabbaths :
then I said ,
I would pour out my fury upon them ,
to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness .
*
Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand ,
and wrought for my names sake ,
that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen ,
in whose sight I brought them forth .
*
I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness ,
that I would scatter them among the heathen ,
and disperse them through the countries ;
*
Because they had not executed my judgments ,
but had despised my statutes ,
and had polluted my sabbaths ,
and their eyes were after their fathers idols .
*
Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good ,
and judgments whereby they should not live ;
