Ezekiel 20:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ Set apart certain holy days to worship me. This will be a sign between me and you so that you will know that I am the Lord your God.”

²¹ “ ‘But they rebelled against me. They didn’t live by my laws, and they didn’t obey my rules and follow them. If people obey them, they will live. They dishonored the days to worship me. So I was going to pour out my fury on them and unleash my anger on them in the desert. ²² But I didn’t use my power so that my name would not be dishonored among the nations who had watched me bring the Israelites out ⌞of Egypt⌟.
