Ezekiel 20:26-31

26And I pronounced them uncleanH2930 through their giftsH4979—the sacrificeH5674 of everyH3605 firstborn in the fireH6363H7356—so thatH4616 I might devastate themH8074, in orderH4616 thatH834 they would knowH3045 thatH834 IH589 am the LORDH3068.

27ThereforeH3651, sonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 toH413 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and tell them thatH559H413 this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: In this wayH2063 alsoH5750 your fathersH1 blasphemedH1442 MeH853 by their unfaithfulnessH4604 againstH4603 Me. 28When I brought themH935 intoH413 the landH776 thatH834 I sworeH5375 to giveH5414 them and they sawH7200 anyH3605 highH7311H3605 hillH1389 or leafyH5687 treeH6086, thereH8033 they offeredH2076 their sacrificesH2077, presentedH5414 offeringsH7133 that provoked MeH3708, sent upH7760H8033 their fragrantH5207 incenseH7381, and poured outH5258H8033 their drink offeringsH5262. 29So I asked themH559H413: ‘WhatH4100 is this high placeH1116 to whichH834 youH859 goH935?’

(And toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117H8033 it is calledH7121H8034 BamahH1117.1)

30ThereforeH3651 tellH559 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: Will youH859 defile yourselvesH2930 the wayH1870 your fathers didH1, prostitutingH2181 yourselvesH859 withH310 their abominationsH8251? 31When you offerH5375 your giftsH4979, sacrificing your sonsH1121H5674 in the fireH784,2 youH859 continue to defileH2930 yourselves with allH3605 your idolsH1544 toH5704 this dayH3117. So should IH589 be consultedH1875 by you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? As surely asH589 I liveH2416, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will notH518 be consultedH1875 by you!
