15. Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
16. because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
17. Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full end of them in the wilderness.
18. I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers. Don’t observe their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
19. I am the Lord your God. Walk in my statutes, keep my ordinances, and do them.
