Ezekiel 20:1-3
Easy-to-Read Version
Israel Turned Away From God
20 One day some of the elders of Israel came to me to ask the Lord for advice. This was on the tenth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of exile.[a] The elders sat down in front of me.
2 Then the word of the Lord came to me. He said, 3 “Son of man,[b] speak to the elders of Israel. Tell them ‘This is what the Lord God says: Have you come to ask me what you should do? I, the Lord God, tell you that, as surely as I live, I will not listen to you.’
