Ezekiel 20:18-21

English Standard Version

¹⁸ “And I said to ^(A)their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not walk ^(B)in the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their rules, ^(C)nor defile yourselves with their idols. ^19 (D)I am the Lord your God; ^(E)walk in my statutes, and be careful to obey my rules, ²⁰ and ^(F)keep my Sabbaths holy that ^(G)they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’ ^21 (H)But the children ^(I)rebelled against me. ^(J)They did not walk in my statutes and were not careful to obey my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; they profaned my Sabbaths.

^(K)“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.
