Ezekiel 20:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ “But I acted for the sake of My Name, so that it would not be profaned before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

¹⁵ “Yet, nevertheless, I lifted up My Hand to them in the wilderness, so that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which was pleasant above all lands,

¹⁶ “because they cast away My Judgments and did not walk in My Statutes, but have profaned My Sabbaths. For their heart went after their idols.
