Second Generation's Idolatry and Punishment

18

I said to their children in the wilderness, Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

19

I am the LORD your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;

20

and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.

21

But the children rebelled against me; they didn’t walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

22

Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

23

Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

24

because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.

25

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live;

26

and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all that opens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
