27“ThereforeH3651, sonH1121 of manH120, 1speakH1696 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “YetH5750 in thisH2088 your fathersH1 have 2blasphemedH1442 Me by 3actingH4603 treacherouslyH4603 against Me. 28When I had 4broughtH935 them into the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH5375H3027 to giveH5414 to them, then they sawH7200 everyH3605 5highH7311 hillH1389 and everyH3605 leafyH5687 treeH6086, and they offeredH2076 thereH8033 their sacrificesH2077 and thereH8033 they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133. ThereH8033 also they madeH7760 their soothingH5207 aromaH7381 and thereH8033 they pouredH5258 out their drinkH5262 offeringsH5262. 29Then I saidH559 to them, ‘WhatH4100 is the highH1116 placeH1116 to whichH834 you goH935?’ So its nameH8034 is calledH7121 6BamahH1117 to thisH2088 dayH3117.”’ 30ThereforeH3651, sayH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “Will you defileH2930 yourselves 7after the mannerH1870 of your 8fathersH1 and playH2181 the harlotH2181 afterH310 their detestableH8251 thingsH8251? 319When you offerH5375 your giftsH4979, when you 10cause your sonsH1121 to passH5674 through the fireH784, you are defilingH2930 yourselves with allH3605 your idolsH1544 to this dayH3117. And shall I be inquiredH1875 of by you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “I will not be inquiredH1875 of by you. 32What 11comesH5927 12into your mindH7307 will not comeH1961 about, whenH834 you sayH559: ‘We will be like the nationsH1471, like the tribesH4940 of the landsH776, 13servingH8334 woodH6086 and stoneH68.’
