“Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.”
King James Version (KJV)
20:20 Hallow - Remember to keep them holy.
20:22 I withdrew - God seems to take the posture of one that was just going to smite, yet draws back that he might spare.
20:23 I lifted - I sware.
