17. With all this, my eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
18. But I said unto their sons in the wilderness: Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither keep their laws, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
19. I am the Lord your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my rights, 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 sons rebelled against me: they did not walk in my statutes, nor keep my rights to do them, by which the man that does them shall live by 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.
