God's Dealings With Israel For His Name's Sake
13 And yet the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They would not walk in my commandments; they have cast away my laws, which whoso keepeth should live in them; and my Sabbath days have they greatly unhallowed. Then I made me to pour out my indignation upon them, and to consume them in the wilderness. 14 Yet I would not do it, for my name's sake: lest it should be dishonored before the Heathen, from the which I had carried them away. 15 But I swore unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land, which I gave them: a land that floweth with milk and honey, and is a pleasure of all lands.
