Ezekiel 20:16-18

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶ Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have polluted, For after their idols their heart is going.

¹⁷ And Mine eye hath pity on them -- against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.

¹⁸ And I say to their sons in the wilderness: In the statutes of your fathers ye walk not, And their judgments ye do not observe, And with their idols ye are not defiled.
