Ezekiel 20:18 in Context — Ezekiel 20

16 Porque rejeitaram meus juízos, não andaram em meus estatutos, e profanaram meus sábados; porque seus corações seguiam seus ídolos.

17 Porém meu olho os poupou, não os destruindo, nem os consumindo no deserto;

18 Em vez disso, eu disse a seus filhos no deserto: Não andeis nos estatutos de vossos pais, nem guardeis seus juízos, nem vos contamineis com seus ídolos.

19 Eu sou o SENHOR vosso Deus; andai em meus estatutos, guardai meus juízos, e os praticai;

20 E santificai meus sábados, e sirvam de sinal entre mim e vós, para que saibais que eu sou o SENHOR, vosso Deus.
