Ezekiel 20:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ So I let them obey rules that were not good. They were laws that would not help them to enjoy a good life. ²⁶ I let them make themselves unclean because of the offerings that they made. They burned their firstborn children in fire as sacrifices. I did that to make them afraid. I wanted them to know that I am the Lord.”

²⁷ So, son of man, you must speak to Israel's people. Tell them, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: Your ancestors insulted me when they did not serve me faithfully.
