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

✦ MADE SIMPLE
You're bringing me offerings while you're literally sacrificing your own children and worshipping other gods — you're completely corrupting yourselves with all these idols, and it's still happening today. And then you have the audacity to come asking me for answers? Listen up, Israel — I swear on my own life that I'm not responding to you anymore.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
You can't worship other gods and hurt innocent people, then expect God to answer your prayers like nothing happened.
