Ezekiel 20:38-41

[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.  [41] I will accept  you with your sweet  savour,  when I bring you out  from the people,  and gather  you out of the countries  wherein ye have been scattered;  and I will be sanctified  in you before  the heathen.
