³⁵ I will send you among the nations. There I will judge you face to face. It will be as if I were judging you in the desert again. ³⁶ Long ago, I judged your people in the desert of Egypt. In the same way, I will judge you,” announces the Lord and King. ³⁷ “I will take note of you as you pass under my shepherd’s stick. I will separate those who obey me from those who do not. And I will give the blessings of the covenant to those of you who obey me.
