Ezekiel 20:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ Also, I raised My hand and swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the most splendid of all lands! ¹⁶ I swore this to them because they ignored My rules and strayed from My laws and polluted My Sabbaths; for they were completely devoted to their idols. ¹⁷ I looked on them with mercy, and I did not destroy them in the wilderness.
