Ezekiel 20:9 Context
7Then said I vnto them, Cast ye away euery man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not your selues with the idoles of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 8But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken vnto mee: they did not euery man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idoles of Egypt: then I said, I will powre out my furie vpon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the middest of the land of Egypt. 9But I wrought for my names sake that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made my selfe knowen vnto them, in bringing them foorth out of the land of Egypt. 10¶ Wherefore I caused them to goe foorth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernesse. 11And I gaue them my statutes, and shewed them my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall euen liue in them.
