Verse 25 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 übergab ich sie in die Lehre, die nicht gut ist, und in Rechte, darin sie kein Leben konnten haben,
Por eso yo también les dí ordenanzas no buenas, y derechos por los cuales no viviesen;
Yo también les di estatutos que no eran buenos y decretos por los cuales no podían vivir.
Je leur donnai aussi des préceptes qui n'étaient pas bons, et des ordonnances par lesquelles ils ne pouvaient vivre.
Ed io altresì diedi loro statuti non buoni, e leggi per le quali non viverebbero;
Por isso também lhes dei estatutos que não eram bons, juízos pelos quais não haviam de viver;
我也任他們遵行那無益的律例,隨從那不能使人存活的規條。
