Ezekiel 20:19 BBE

¹⁷  But still my eye had pity on them and I kept them from destruction and did not put an end to them completely in the waste land.

¹⁸  And I said to their children in the waste land, Do not be guided by the rules of your fathers or keep their orders or make yourselves unclean with their images:

¹⁹  I am the Lord your God; be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them:

²⁰  And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.

²¹  But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.
