Ezekiel 20:9-14 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

9. But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

10. So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

11. I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

12. Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

13. “‘“But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

14. But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
