Ezekiel 20:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof was called [a]Bamah unto this day.
30 Wherefore, say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted [b]after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye not whoredom after their abominations?
31 For when you offer your gifts, and make your sons to pass through the fire, you pollute yourselves with all your idols unto this day: shall I answer you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, [c]I will not answer you when I am asked.
