English Standard Version

³⁰ “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: ^(A)Will you defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers and go ^(B)whoring after their detestable things? ³¹ When you present your gifts and ^(C)offer up your children in fire,^[a] you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And ^(D)shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? ^(E)As I live, declares the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.

^32 (F)“What is in your mind shall never happen—the thought, ^(G)‘Let us be like the nations, like the tribes of the countries, ^(H)and worship wood and stone.’
