³¹ For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even to this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.

²² For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
