New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 20
11 I gave them My statutes and informed them of My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live.
12 Also I gave them My sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not walk in My statutes and they rejected My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; and My sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath on them in the wilderness, to annihilate them.
14 But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, before whose sight I had brought them out.
15 Also I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands,
16 because they rejected My ordinances, and as for My statutes, they did not walk in them; they even profaned My sabbaths, for their heart continually went after their idols.
17 Yet My eye spared them rather than destroying them, and I did not cause their annihilation in the wilderness.
18 "I said to their children in the wilderness, ’Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.
19 I am the Lord your God; walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and observe them.
20 Sanctify My sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’
21 But the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, nor were they careful to observe My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; they profaned My sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
