Esekiel 20,12

10 Så jeg førte dem ut av Egypt og brakte dem inn i ørkenen.

11 Jeg ga dem mine lover og informerte dem om mine forordninger, som et menneske skal leve ved hvis de adlyder dem.

Jeg ga dem også mine sabbater som et tegn mellom oss, så de skulle vite at jeg, Herren, helliger dem.

13 Likevel gjorde Israels hus opprør mot meg i ørkenen. De fulgte ikke mine lover og forkastet mine forordninger—som et menneske skal leve ved hvis de adlyder dem—og de vanhelliget mine sabbater sterkt. Så jeg besluttet å utøse min vrede over dem i ørkenen, for å ødelegge dem.

14 Men jeg handlet for mitt navns skyld, for å forhindre at det ble vanhelliget for øynene av de nasjonene for hvis øyne jeg hadde ført dem ut.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
