Ezekiel 20:20

God's Dealings With Israel For His Name's Sake

¹⁹ I am Yahweh your God. Follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. ²⁰ Keep My Sabbaths holy, and they will be a sign between Me and you, so you may know that I am Yahweh your God. ²¹ “But the children rebelled against Me. They did not follow My statutes or carefully keep My ordinances—the person who does them will live by them. They also profaned My Sabbaths. So I considered pouring out My wrath on them and exhausting My anger against them in the wilderness.
