Ezekiel 23:37-39
New English Translation

37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and their sons, whom they bore to me,[a] they have passed through the fire as food to their idols.[b] 38 Moreover, they have done this to me: In the very same day[c] they desecrated my sanctuary and profaned my Sabbaths. 39 On the same day they slaughtered their sons for their idols, they came to my sanctuary to desecrate it. This is what they have done in the middle of my house.
