Ezekiel 20:19 In-Context

17 Nevertheless Mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.

18 "`But I said unto their children in the wilderness: "Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

19 I am the LORD your God: Walk in My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them;

20 and hallow My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God."

21 Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against Me. They walked not in My statutes, neither kept My judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted My Sabbaths. "`Then I said I would pour out My fury upon them to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.
