Ezekiel 20:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰ Now tell the Israelites what I am saying: Why must you commit the same sins your ancestors did and go running after their idols? ³¹ Even today you offer the same gifts and defile yourselves with the same idols by sacrificing your children to them in the fire. And then you Israelites still come to ask what my will is! As surely as I, the Sovereign Lord, am the living God, I will not let you ask me anything. ³² You have made up your minds that you want to be like the other nations, like the people who live in other countries and worship trees and rocks. But that will never be.
