Ezekiel 20:30-32
Lexham English Bible
30 Therefore thus say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “In the way of your ancestors[a] will you defile yourself, and after their vile idols will you prostitute yourselves? 31 And when you lift up your gifts, sacrificing your children[b] through the fire, you are defiling yourself through all of your idols until today,[c] and will I let myself[d] be consulted by you, house of Israel?”’ As I live,”[e] declares[f] the Lord Yahweh, “I will not let myself[g] be consulted by you! 32 And what you are planning,[h] surely it will not be—that you are saying, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the clans[i] of the lands, serving wood and stone!’[j]
