Ezekiel 20:20-22
New English Translation

20 Treat my Sabbaths as holy[a] and they will be a reminder of our relationship,[b] and then you will know that I am the Lord your God.” 21 But the children[c] rebelled against me, did not follow my statutes, did not observe my regulations by carrying them out (the one who obeys[d] them will live by them), and desecrated my Sabbaths. I decided to pour out[e] my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the wilderness. 22 But I refrained from doing so[f] and acted instead for the sake of my reputation, so that I would not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
