Ezekiel 20:30-32

Expanded Bible

³⁰ “So say to the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel: ‘This is what the Lord God says: Are you going to ·make yourselves unclean [defile yourselves; ^Critually] as your ·ancestors [fathers] did? Are you going to ·be unfaithful and desire [prostitute yourselves with] their ·hateful idols [detestable/abominable things]? ³¹ When you offer your children as gifts and sacrifice them in the fire, you ·are making yourselves unclean [defile yourselves; ^Critually] with all your idols even today. So, ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel, should I let you ·ask me questions [consult with me]? As surely as I live, says the Lord God, I will not ·accept questions from you [let you seek/inquire of me].

³² “‘What you ·want [or plan] will not come true. You say, “We want to be like the other nations, like the ·people [clans; families] in other lands. We want to worship ·idols made of wood and stone [^Lwood and stone].”
