In context

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.

— Ezekiel 20:22 —

23I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles, and disperse them in the countries;

24because they kept not mine ordinances, and rejected my commandments, and profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes went after the imaginations of their fathers.
