would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands; 020:016 because they rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 020:017 Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness. 020:018 I said to their children in the wilderness, Don't you walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols. 020:019 I am Yahweh your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; 020:020 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. 020:021 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. 020:022 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. 020:023 Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; 020:024 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. 020:025 Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live; 020:026 and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through [the fire] all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yahweh. 020:027 Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. 020:028 For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink offerings. 020:029 Then I said to them, What means the high place whereunto you go? So the name of it is called Bamah to this day. 020:030 Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Do you pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and play you the prostitute after their abominations?
