New Testament

Ezekiel 20:13-18 American Standard Version (ASV)

13. But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

14. But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

15. Moreover also I sware unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

16. because they rejected mine ordinances, and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

17. Nevertheless mine eye spared them, and I destroyed them not, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

18. And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
