Ezekiel 20:16 YLT

¹⁴  And I do 'it' for My name's sake, Not to pollute 'it' before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.

¹⁵  And also, I, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them in to the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it 'is' to all the lands,

¹⁶  Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have polluted, For after their idols their heart is going.

¹⁷  And Mine eye hath pity on them -- against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.

¹⁸  And I say to their sons in the wilderness: In the statutes of your fathers ye walk not, And their judgments ye do not observe, And with their idols ye are not defiled.
