Ezekiel 20:9 in Context — Ezekiel 20
7 Então eu lhes disse: Cada um lance fora as abominações de seus olhos, e não vos contamineis com os ídolos do Egito. Eu sou o SENHOR vosso Deus.
8 Porém eles se rebelaram contra mim, e não quiseram me ouvir; não lançaram fora as abominações de seus olhos, nem deixaram os ídolos do Egito; por isso disse que derramaria meu furor sobre eles, para cumprir meu ira contra eles no meio da terra do Egito.
9 Porém fiz por favor a meu nome, para que não fosse profanado diante olhos das nações no meio das quais estavam, pelas quais eu fui conhecido diante dos olhos delas, ao tirá-los da terra do Egito.
10 Por isso eu os tirei da terra do Egito, e os levei ao deserto;
11 E lhes dei meus estatutos, e lhes declarei meus juízos, os quais se o homem os fizer, por eles viverá.
