Ezekiel 20:39–44

39 “As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God, “aGo, serve everyone his idols; 1but later you will surely listen to Me, and My holy name you will bprofane no longer with your gifts and with your idols.

40 “For on My holy mountain, on the high mountain of Israel,” declares the Lord God, “there the whole house of Israel, aall of them, will serve Me in the land; there I will baccept them and there I will 1seek your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things.

41 “1As a soothing aroma I will accept you when I abring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I will prove Myself bholy among you in the sight of the nations.

42 “And ayou will know that I am the Lord, bwhen I bring you into the land of Israel, into the cland which I swore to give to your forefathers.

43 “There you will aremember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves; and you will bloathe yourselves in your own 1sight for all the evil things that you have done.

44 “Then ayou will know that I am the Lord when I have dealt with you bfor My name’s sake, not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord God.’ ”
