Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 20 of Ezekiel. The second generation repeats the rebellion of their fathers. The prophecy shows that unfaithfulness was not an isolated episode but a persistent pattern. Being given statutes that were not good functions as an expression of divine judgment upon a community that insists on abandoning the commandments.

darum daß sie meine Geboten nicht gehalten und meine Rechte verachtet und meine Sabbate entheiligt hatten und nach den Götzen ihrer Väter sahen.
Porque no pusieron por obra mis derechos, y desecharon mis ordenanzas, y profanaron mis sábados, y tras los ídolos de sus padres se les fueron sus ojos.
porque no cumplieron mis decretos, rechazaron mis estatutos y profanaron mis días de reposo. Sus ojos seguían a los ídolos de sus padres.
parce qu'ils ne mirent pas en pratique mes ordonnances, parce qu'ils rejetèrent mes préceptes, profanèrent mes sabbats, et tournèrent leurs yeux vers les idoles de leurs pères.
perciocchè non misero ad effetto le mie leggi, e rigettarono i miei statuti, e profanarono i miei sabati, e i loro occhi furono dietro agli idoli de’ lor padri.
Porque não executaram os meus juízos, e rejeitaram os meus estatutos, e profanaram os meus sábados, e os seus olhos iam após os ídolos de seus pais.
因為他們不遵行我的典章,厭棄我的律例,干犯我的安息日,眼目向著他們祖先的偶像。
