Ezekiel 20:30 In-Context

28 I brought them into the land that I swore to give to them. But when they saw all the high hills and lofty trees, there they made their sacrifices: irksome offerings here, pleasing aromas there, and drink offerings elsewhere!

29 I said to them, What shrine are you going to now? So it's called Shrine to this very day.

30 So now say to the house of Israel, The LORD God proclaims: Will you defile yourselves as your ancestors did, and will you prostitute yourself after their disgusting things?

31 When you offer up your gifts and make your children pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols to this very day. Should I let you seek me out, house of Israel? This is what the LORD God says: As surely as I live, I won't let you seek me.

32 What is in your minds will never happen! You've been saying, "Let's be like the nations and the clans of the lands in the service of wood and stone."
