In context

17Yet mine eyes spared them, so as not to destroy them utterly, and I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.

18And I said to their children in the wilderness, Walk not ye in the customs of your fathers, and keep not their ordinances, and have no fellowship with their practices, nor defile yourselves with them.

— Ezekiel 20:19 —

20and hallow my Sabbaths, and let them be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.

21But they provoked me, and their children walked not in my commandments, and they took no heed to mine ordinances to do them, which if a man shall do, he shall even live in them, and they profaned my Sabbaths: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to accomplish mine anger upon them.
