Ezekiel 20:12

10 “Therefore I ^amade them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.

11 ^aAnd I gave them My statutes and¹ showed them My judgments, ^b‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them.’

12 Moreover I also gave them My ^aSabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

13 Yet the house of Israel ^arebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they ^bdespised My judgments, ^c‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; and they greatly ^ddefiled My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them in the ^ewilderness, to consume them.

14 ^aBut I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.

15 So ^aI also raised My hand in an oath to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, ^b‘flowing with milk and honey,’ ^cthe glory of all lands,
