Ezekiel 20:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ But I had compassion on them. I didn’t destroy them or completely wipe them out in the desert. ¹⁸ I said to their children in the desert, “Don’t live by the laws of your ancestors. Don’t obey their rules or dishonor yourselves with their disgusting idols. ¹⁹ I am the Lord your God. Live by my laws. Obey my rules and follow them.
