Ezekiel 20:24-26

The Voice

Instead, their eyes were devoted to their fathers’ breathless idols, and they polluted My Sabbaths. ²⁵ I handed them over to bad laws and rules that could not lead to life. ²⁶ I declared them ritually impure because they were giving every firstborn child as a burnt sacrifice to pagan gods. I did this to horrify them, so that they would know I am the Eternal One.
