Compare all
19 I am the Lord your God: aWalk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them;  
20 ahallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’  
21 “Notwithstanding, athe children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, and were not careful to observe My judgments, b‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; but they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness.  
22 Nevertheless I withdrew My hand and acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.  
23 Also I raised My hand in an oath to those in the wilderness, that aI would scatter them among the Gentiles and disperse them throughout the countries,  
24 abecause they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, profaned My Sabbaths, and btheir eyes were fixed on their fathers’ idols.  
25 “Therefore aI also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live;  
26 and I pronounced them unclean because of their ritual gifts, in that they caused all1 their firstborn to pass athrough the fire, that I might make them desolate and that they bmight know that I am the Lord.” ’
