Ezekiel 20:33-40

[33] As I live,  saith  the Lord  GOD,  surely with a mighty  hand,  and with a stretched out  arm,  and with fury  poured out,  will I rule  [34] And I will bring you out  from the people,  and will gather  you out of the countries  wherein ye are scattered,  with a mighty  hand,  and with a stretched out  arm,  and with fury  poured out.  [35] And I will bring  you into the wilderness  of the people,  and there will I plead  with you face  [36] Like as I pleaded  with your fathers  in the wilderness  of the land  of Egypt,  so will I plead  with you, saith  the Lord  GOD.  [37] And I will cause you to pass  under the rod,  and I will bring  you into the bond  of the covenant:  [38] And I will purge out  from among you the rebels,  and them that transgress  against me: I will bring them forth  out of the country  where they sojourn,  and they shall not enter  into the land  of Israel:  and ye shall know  that I am the LORD.  [39] As for you, O house  of Israel,  thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  ye, serve  ye every one  his idols,  and hereafter  also, if ye will not hearken  unto me: but pollute  ye my holy  name  no more with your gifts,  and with your idols.  [40] For in mine holy  mountain,  of the height  of Israel,  saith  the Lord  GOD,  there shall all the house  of Israel,  all of them in the land,  serve  me: there will I accept  them, and there will I require  your offerings,  and the firstfruits  of your oblations,  with all your holy things.
