Ezekiel 20:14Catholic Public Domain VersionBut I acted for the sake of my name, lest it be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, in their sight. See the chapter |
But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert. They did not walk in my precepts, and they cast aside my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they grievously violated my Sabbaths. Therefore, I said that I would pour out my fury upon them in the desert, and that I would consume them.
