Ezekiel 20:22-24
20:22 But I refrained from doing so, and acted instead for the sake of my reputation, so that I would not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.
20:23 I also swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.
20:24 I did this because they did not observe my regulations, they rejected my statutes, they desecrated my Sabbaths, and their eyes were fixed on their fathers’ idols.
