Ezekiel 20:7-8

Context
20:7 I said to them, “Each of you must get rid of the detestable idols you keep before you, 1  and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.” 20:8 But they rebelled against me, and refused to listen to me; no one got rid of their detestable idols, 2  nor did they abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I decided to pour out 3  my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
