Ezekiel 20:23-26

23I raised my hand and swore an oath to them in the desert. I promised to scatter them among the nations and force them into other countries.

24They didn’t follow my rules, and they rejected my laws. They dishonored the days to worship me, and they looked to their ancestors’ disgusting idols for help.

25I also allowed them to follow laws that were no good and rules by which they could not live.

26I let them dishonor themselves when they sacrificed all their firstborn sons as gifts ⌞to their false gods⌟. I terrified them so that they would know that I am the Lord.’
