Ezekiel 20:11-13

Contemporary English Version

^11 (A) I gave them my laws and teachings, so they would know how to live right. ^12 (B) And I commanded them to respect the Sabbath as a way of showing that they were holy and belonged to me. ¹³ But the Israelites rebelled against me in the desert. They refused to obey my laws and teachings, and they treated the Sabbath like any other day.

Then in my anger, I decided to destroy the Israelites in the desert once and for all.
