Ezekiel:20:6-9
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 .
