Ezekiel 20:7-10

7And I said to them, ' aCast away the detestable things byour eyes feast on, every one of you, and do not defile yourselves with cthe idols of Egypt; dI am the Lord your God.' 8 eBut they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. fNone of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.

“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them gand spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 hBut I acted ifor the sake of my name, jthat it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, kin whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt. 10 lSo I led them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
