Faithless Israel Called to Repentance
6The Lord said to me in the days of hKing Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, ihow she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there jplayed the whore?Ezekiel 20:28-29
28For when I had brought them into the land that kI swore to give them, then wherever they saw lany high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices and there they presented mthe provocation of their offering; there they sent up their pleasing aromas, and there they poured out their drink offerings. 29(I said to them, n'What is the high place to which you go?' So its name is called Bamah ▼▼ Bamah means high place
to this day.) Hosea 4:13
13 pThey sacrifice on the tops of the mountainsand burn offerings on the hills,
qunder oak, poplar, and terebinth,
because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore,
and your brides commit adultery.
