Ezekiel 20:12

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

¹¹ I gave them My statutes and explained My ordinances to them, which, if a man keeps, he will live. ¹² Also I gave them My Sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord who sanctifies them (separates and sets them apart). ¹³ But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not walk in My statutes and they despised and rejected My ordinances, which, if a man keeps, he will live; and they greatly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I decided to pour out My wrath on them in the wilderness, to annihilate them.
