Ezekiel 20:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

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. ²⁸ I took them to the land which I had promised to give to them. But when they were there, they continued to offer sacrifices to idols. They did this on every high hill or under every green tree that they saw! They burned sweet incense and they poured out wine as offerings in all those places. That made me very angry. ²⁹ I asked them, ‘Why do you go to these high places?’ ” (That is why people still call them “high places”.)
