Ezekiel 20:27-32
27“Therefore 1speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Again, in this your fathers have 2blasphemed Me by 3being disloyal to Me. 28When I had 4brought them into the land which I swore to give to them, then they saw every 5high hill and every tree thick with branches, and there they offered 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, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Will you defile yourselves in the way of your 7fathers and adulterously pursue their detestable things? 31And 8when you offer your gifts, when you 9make your sons pass through the fire, you are defiling yourselves with all your idols to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live,” declares the Lord God, “I certainly will not be inquired of by you. 32And whatever 10comes 11into your mind certainly will not come about, when you say: ‘We will be like the nations, like the families of the lands, 12serving wood and stone.’
