Ezekiel 20:12-14

English Standard Version

¹² Moreover, I gave them ^(A)my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, ^(B)that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them. ^13 (C)But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. ^(D)They did not walk in my statutes but rejected my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; ^(E)and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned.

^(F)“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to make a full end of them. ¹⁴ But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, ^(G)in whose sight I had brought them out.
