Ezekiel 20:27-32

27“Therefore, son of man, 1speak to the house of Israel and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Yet in this your fathers have 2blasphemed Me by 3acting treacherously against Me. 28When I had 4brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every 5high hill and every leafy tree, and they offered there their sacrifices and there they presented the provocation of their offering. There also they made their soothing aroma and there they poured out their drink offerings. 29Then I said to them, ‘What is the high place to which you go?’ So its name is called 6Bamah to this day.”’ 30Therefore, say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Will you defile yourselves 7after the manner of your 8fathers and play the harlot after their detestable things? 319When you offer your gifts, when you 10cause your sons to pass through the fire, you are defiling yourselves with all your idols to this day. And shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will not be inquired of by you. 32What 11comes 12into your mind will not come about, when you say: ‘We will be like the nations, like the tribes of the lands, 13serving wood and stone.’
