Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ because they despised my judgments, and they did not walk in my statutes,^[a] and my Sabbaths they profaned, for their heart was going after their idols. ¹⁷ But my eye took pity on them by not destroying them, and I did not completely destroy them^[b] in the desert.

¹⁸ “And I said to their children in the desert, ‘You must not go in the statutes of your parents;^[c] you must not keep their regulations, and you must not make yourself unclean with their idols.
