Ezekiel 20:17

Israel’s Rebellion in the Wilderness

16because they kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols.17Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.
