Ezekiel 20:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² I also gave them certain days to worship me as a sign between us so that they would know that I, the Lord, made them holy.

¹³ “ ‘But the people of Israel rebelled against me in the desert. They didn’t live by my laws, and they rejected my rules. If people obey them, they will live. They dishonored the days of rest—holy days on which to worship me. So I was going to pour out my fury on them in the desert and completely wipe them out. ¹⁴ But I acted so that my name would not be dishonored among the nations who had watched me bring the Israelites out ⌞of Egypt⌟.
