Ezekiel 20:9–14

9 vBut I wrought wfor my name’s sake, vthat it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, vin whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 10 Wherefore xI caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them yinto the wilderness. 11 And zI gave them my statutes, and †shewed them my judgments, awhich if a man do, abhe shall even live in them. 12 Moreover also I gave them cmy sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that dI am the Lord that sanctify them. 13 But the house of Israel erebelled against me in the wilderness: fthey walked not in my statutes, and fthey despised my judgments, awhich if a man do, he shall even live in them; and cfmy sabbaths they greatly polluted: gthen I said, I would pour out my fury upon them hin the wilderness, gto consume them. 14 iBut I wrought for my name’s sake, ithat it should not be polluted before the heathen, iin whose sight I brought them out.
