Ezekiel 20:13, 14

“ ‘Yet the people of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not follow my decrees but rejected my laws—by which the person who obeys them will live—and they utterly desecrated my Sabbaths. So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and destroy them in the wilderness.

But for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
