Ezekiel 20:7-9
New King James Version
7 Then I said to them, ‘Each of you, (A)throw away (B)the abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with (C)the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’ 8 But they rebelled against Me and would not [a]obey Me. They did not all cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, ‘I will (D)pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.’ 9 (E)But I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself (F)known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
