Ezekiel 20:20-22

20and akeep my Sabbaths holy that bthey may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.' 21 cBut the children drebelled against me. eThey did not walk in my statutes and were not careful to obey my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; they profaned my Sabbaths.

f“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.
22 gBut I withheld my hand hand acted for the sake of my name, ithat it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
