Ezekiel 20:8-9

English Standard Version

^8 (A)But they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. ^(B)None of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.

“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them ^(C)and spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. ^9 (D)But I acted ^(E)for the sake of my name, ^(F)that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, ^(G)in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
