Ezekiel 20:32

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.

And that which cometh {H5927} into your mind {H7307} shall not be at all, that ye say {H559}, We will be {H1961} as the heathen {H1471}, as the families {H4940} of the countries {H776}, to serve {H8334} wood {H6086} and stone {H68}.

and that what you have in mind when you say, "We will be like the Goyim, like the families of the other countries, serving wood and stone," will certainly not happen.

When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of the lands, serving wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never come to pass.

and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, in that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
