40 For (A)on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord God, “there (B)all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there (C)I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your [a]sacrifices, together with all your holy things. 41 I will accept you as a (D)sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles. 42 (E)Then you shall know that I am the Lord, (F)when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I raised My hand in an oath to give to your fathers. 43 And (G)there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and (H)you shall [b]loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed. 44 (I)Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have dealt with you (J)for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord God.’ ”
