Ezekiel

Ezekiel 20:12–13

¹²I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

¹³Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances— though the man who does these things will live by them — and they utterly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.
