³¹ And when you lift·​·up your gifts, when you make your sons to pass·​·through the fire, you^◦ defile yourselves with all your idols, even·​·to this^▫ day; and shall I^◦ be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I^◦ am alive, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih, I will not^▫ be inquired of by you.

⁹ But I did so·​·that My name should not^▵ be profaned before^▫ the eyes of the nations, among^▵ whom they^◦ were, before^▫ whose eyes I made· Myself ·known unto^▵ them, in bringing· them ·forth out·​·of the land of Egypt.
