Ezekiel 20:14-17

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ But I wrought for My name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

¹⁵ 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,

¹⁶ because they despised My judgments and walked not in My statutes, but polluted My Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

¹⁷ Nevertheless Mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
