Ezekiel 20:35-37

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁵ and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face. ³⁶ As I entered into judgment with your ancestors in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says the Lord God. ³⁷ I will make you pass under the staff, and will bring you within the bond of the covenant.
