In context

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.

22But I wrought so that my name might not be at all profaned before the Gentiles; and I brought them out in their sight.

— Ezekiel 20:23 —

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

25So I gave them commandments that were not good, and ordinances in which they should not live.
