EZEKIEL 20:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.”
As you say, Let us be like the nations, like the tribes of the countries, and worship wood and stone, God repudiates Israel's desire to abandon covenant identity and assimilate into surrounding pagan nations. The desire to be like the nations represents a fundamental rejection of Israel's called identity as God's covenant people. The worship of wood and stone parodies pagan idolatry, emphasizing the emptiness of such practices.
