3 “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God, Is it to inquire of me that you come? As I live, declares the Lord God, ^zI will not be inquired of by you.

31 When you present your gifts and offer up your children in fire,¹ you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And ^dshall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you.
