Ezekiel
Ezekiel 20:25–26
25I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live. 26And I pronounced them unclean through their gifts — the sacrifice of every firstborn in the fire — so that I might devastate them, in order that they would know that I am the LORD.
