Ezekiel 20:24-26
New Century Version
24 because they had not obeyed my laws. They had rejected my rules and dishonored my Sabbaths and worshiped the idols of their parents. 25 I also allowed them to follow rules that were not good and laws by which they could not live. 26 I let the Israelites make themselves unclean by the gifts they brought to their gods when they sacrificed their first children in the fire. I wanted to terrify them so they would know that I am the Lord.’

24 because they had not obeyed my laws but had rejected my decrees(A) and desecrated my Sabbaths,(B) and their eyes lusted after(C) their parents’ idols.(D) 25 So I gave(E) them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live;(F) 26 I defiled them through their gifts—the sacrifice(G) of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.(H)’
