Halakha Yehezkiel 20:25: Mishneh Torah, Sabbath

וְגַם־אֲנִי֙ נָתַ֣תִּי לָהֶ֔ם חֻקִּ֖ים לֹ֣א טוֹבִ֑ים וּמִ֨שְׁפָּטִ֔ים לֹ֥א יִֽחְי֖וּ בָּהֶֽם׃

Maka Aku pun memberikan kepada mereka ketetapan-ketetapan yang tidak baik dan peraturan-peraturan yang tidak dapat membuat mereka hidup.

Mishneh Torah, Sabbath

These things should not be performed by non-Jews, minors, servants or women, lest they consider the Sabbath a light matter; instead, scholars and sages of Israel are to carry them out. One must not put off the desecration of the Sabbath in treating a serious patient, as it is written: "If a man obeys them he shall live by them" (Leviticus 18:5), but he must not die by them. From this you may infer that the laws of the Torah are not meant to wreak vengeance upon the world, but to bestow on it mercy, kindliness, and peace. And it is written concerning those heretics that say that is desecrating the Shabbat (Ezek. 20:25), “I too have given them statutes that are not good and judgments that they will not live with.”
