Ezekiel 20:26-28
New King James Version
26 and I pronounced them unclean because of their ritual gifts, in that they caused all [a]their firstborn to pass (A)through the fire, that I might make them desolate and that they (B)might know that I am the Lord.” ’
27 “Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “In this too your fathers have (C)blasphemed Me, by being unfaithful to Me. 28 When I brought them into the land concerning which I had raised My hand in an oath to give them, and (D)they saw all the high hills and all the thick trees, there they offered their sacrifices and provoked Me with their offerings. There they also sent up their (E)sweet aroma and poured out their drink offerings.
