Ezekiel 20:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ Moreover, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands,^{(A) 16} because they rejected my ordinances and did not observe my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths, for their heart went after their idols.^{(B) 17} Nevertheless, my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them or make an end of them in the wilderness.
