Ezekiel 20:26-31

26and I polluted them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to passH5674 through the fire all that openeth the wombH7356, that I might makeH3045 them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am Jehovah.

27ThereforeH3651, sonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathersH1 blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me. 28For whenH834 I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, which I sware to giveH5414 unto them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and every thick treeH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presented the provocation of their offeringH7133; there also they madeH5414 their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink-offerings. 29Then I saidH559 unto them, What meaneth the highH1116 placeH1116 whereunto ye goH935?
