Ezekiel 20:29

Then; when they were intent upon this horrid course of sin, God pleaded by his messengers, and prophets, and law, and some faithful priests, What mean you, that ye go to the high place? should you not go to the altar of God, and bring your sacrifices to the temple? Or what God better than Abraham's do you expect there? What profit by attending upon those sacrifices offered daily? How often have you by such-like means poured contempt on God and his law! Whereunto ye go; leaving my temple, and the service I prescribed, and in other places, unrequited, doing their supposed duties. Bamah; high place: the very word tells them their wickedness, that they acted against the express will of God, and framed themselves to idolaters of the nation. Unto this day; and this they did with obstinacy continue in to the days of Josiah, 2 Chronicles 34:3. Thus far the narrative of their great wickednesses.
