Ezekiel 20:31-33

Christian Standard Bible

³¹ When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your children in the fire,^[a](A) you still continue to defile yourselves with all your idols today. So should I let you inquire of me, house of Israel? As I live—this is the declaration of the Lord God—I will not let you inquire of me!

Israel’s Restoration

³² “‘When you say, “Let’s be like the nations, like the clans of other countries, serving wood and stone,”^(B) what you have in mind will never happen.^{(C) 33} As I live—the declaration of the Lord God—I will reign over you with a strong hand, an outstretched arm,^(D) and outpoured wrath.
