Ezekiel 20:23-27 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

23. Moreover I lifted up mine hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries,

24. because they had not executed my judgments, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

25. Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments wherein they should not live;

26. and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.

27. Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
