Ezekiel 20:22 WEB

²⁰  and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.

²¹  But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

²²  Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

²³  Moreover I swore to 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 ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
