Ezekiel 20:14 Context
12Moreouer also, I gaue them my Sabbaths, to be a signe betweene mee and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctifie them. 13But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernesse: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my iudgements, which if a man doe, hee shall euen liue in them, and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said I would powre out my furie vpon them in the wildernesse, to consume them: 14But I wrought for my names sake, that it should not bee polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out. 15Yet also I lifted vp my hand vnto them in the wildernesse, that I would not bring them into the land which I had giuen them, flowing with milke and hony, which is the glory of all lands, 16Because they despised my iudgements, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idoles.
