Ezekiel 20:22

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

²¹ But the children rebelled against me; {they did not walk in my statutes}, and {they did not observe my regulations}, which [if] a person does them, then he will live by them. My Sabbaths they desecrated, and I decided to pour out my rage on them, to finish my anger against them in the desert. ²² But I withheld my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name not to be profaned before the eyes of the nations [before] whom I [had] brought them out before their eyes. ²³ What is more, {I swore} to them in the desert to scatter them among the nations and to disperse them in the lands,
