Ezekiel 20:13-18

13 ^aBut the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. ^bThey did not walk in my statutes but rejected my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; ^cand my Sabbaths they greatly profaned.

^d“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to make a full end of them. 14 But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, ^ein whose sight I had brought them out. 15 Moreover, ^fI swore to them in the wilderness ^gthat I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, a land ^hflowing with milk and honey, ⁱthe most glorious of all lands, 16 because they rejected my rules and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; ^jfor their heart went after their idols. 17 Nevertheless, ^kmy eye spared them, and I did not destroy them or ^lmake a full end of them in the wilderness.

18 “And I said to ^mtheir children in the wilderness, 'Do not walk ⁿin the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their rules, ^onor defile yourselves with their idols.

Zechariah 1:3-4

3 Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: ^pReturn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and ^qI will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. 4 ^rDo not be like your fathers, ^sto whom the former prophets cried out, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^tReturn from your evil ways and from your evil deeds.’ But ^uthey did not hear or pay attention to me, declares the Lord.
