    19I `am' Jehovah your God, in My statutes walk, And My judgments observe, and do them,

    20And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, `am' your God.

    21And -- the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed -- to do them, Which the man who doth -- liveth by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness.

    22And I have turned back My hand, And I do `it' for My name's sake, Not to pollute `it' before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.

    23I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.

    24Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been.

    25And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And judgments by which they do not live.

    26And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I `am' Jehovah.

    14And I do `it' for My name's sake, Not to pollute `it' before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.

    15And also, I, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them in to the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it `is' to all the lands,

    16Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have polluted, For after their idols their heart is going.

    17And Mine eye hath pity on them -- against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.
