Ezekiel 20:30-32
New English Translation

30 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Will you defile yourselves like your fathers[a] and engage in prostitution with detestable idols? 31 When you present your sacrifices[b]—when you make your sons pass through the fire—you defile yourselves with all your idols to this very day. Will I allow you to seek me,[c] O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will not allow you to seek me![d]

32 “‘What you plan[e] will never happen. You say, “We will be[f] like the nations, like the clans of the lands, who serve gods of wood and stone.”[g]
