Ezekiel 20:22-24

Christian Standard Bible

²² But I withheld my hand and acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I brought them out. ²³ However, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries.^{(A) 24} For they did not practice my ordinances but rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were fixed^(B) on their fathers’ idols.
