For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 20 of Ezekiel. The later generation also profanes its relationship with God through sacrifices and idolatry. The adoption of practices from the nations demonstrates Israel’s desire to assume a foreign religious identity. God challenges the idea that they can serve other gods without consequences.

Denn da ich sie in das Land gebracht hatte, über welches ich meine Hand aufgehoben hatte, daß ich's ihnen gäbe: wo sie einen hohen Hügel oder dichten Baum ersahen, daselbst opferten sie ihre Opfer und brachten dahin ihre verdrießlichen Gaben und räucherten daselbst ihren süßen Geruch und gossen daselbst ihre Trankopfer.
Porque yo los metí en la tierra sobre la cual había alzado mi mano que les había de dar, y miraron a todo collado alto, y a todo árbol espeso, y allí sacrificaron sus víctimas, y allí presentaron la irritación de sus ofrendas, allí pusieron también él olor de su suavidad, y allí derramaron sus libaciones.
Los llevé a la tierra que había jurado darles alzando mi mano. Pero miraron toda colina alta y todo árbol frondoso, y allí ofrecieron sus sacrificios, allí presentaron sus ofrendas provocadoras, allí pusieron sus aromas agradables y allí derramaron sus ofrendas líquidas.
Je les ai conduits dans le pays que j'avais juré de leur donner, et ils ont jeté les yeux sur toute colline élevée et sur tout arbre touffu; là ils ont fait leurs sacrifices, ils ont présenté leurs offrandes qui m'irritaient, ils ont brûlé leurs parfums d'une agréable odeur, et ils ont répandu leurs libations.
cioè: che dopo che io li ebbi introdotti nel paese, del quale io avea levata la mano, che io lo darei loro, hanno riguardato ad ogni alto colle, e ad ogni albero folto; e quivi hanno sacrificati i lor sacrificii, e quivi hanno presentata l’irritazione delle loro offerte, e quivi hanno posti gli odori lor soavi, e quivi hanno sparse le loro offerte da spandere.
Porque, havendo-os eu introduzido na terra sobre a qual eu levantara a minha mão, para lha dar, então olharam para todo o outeiro alto, e para toda a árvore frondosa, e ofereceram ali os seus sacrifícios e apresentaram ali a provocação das suas ofertas; puseram ali os seus cheiros suaves, e ali derramaram as suas libações.
我領他們到我起誓應許賜給他們的地,他們看見各高岡、各茂密的樹,就在那裏獻祭,獻上惹我發怒的供物,也在那裏焚燒馨香的祭,獻澆酒祭。
