Ezekiel:20:6-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them ,
to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them ,
flowing with milk and honey ,
which is the glory of all lands :
*
Then said I unto them ,
Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes ,
and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt :
I am the LORD your God .
*
But they rebelled against me ,
and would not hearken unto me :
they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes ,
neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt :
then I said ,
I will pour out my fury upon them ,
to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt .
*
But I wrought for my names sake ,
that it should not be polluted before the heathen ,
among whom they were ,
in whose sight I made myself known unto them ,
in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt .
*
Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt ,
and brought them into the wilderness .
*
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 .
