Ezekiel 20:20-22 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

20. keep holy my sabbaths as a sign between me and you so that you may know that I am the Lord, your God.

21. But their children rebelled against me: they did not follow my statutes or keep my ordinances that bring life to those who observe them; my sabbaths they desecrated. Then I considered pouring out my fury on them, spending my anger against them in the wilderness;

22. but I stayed my hand, acting for the sake of my name, lest it be desecrated in the eyes of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
