Ezekiel 20:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and tell them this.”
This is what the Lord God says to them:
Are you really coming to consult me? As I live, I will not let myself be consulted by you, declares the Lord God.
4 Will you put them on trial?[a] Will you put them on trial, son of man? Remind them of the abominable practices of their fathers. 5 You are to tell them the following.
This is what the Lord God says. On the day when I chose Israel, when I swore with an uplifted hand to the descendants[b] of the house of Jacob, when I made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, then I lifted up my hand to them in an oath. I said, “I am the Lord, your God.”
