³⁸ I will purge^(A) you of those who revolt and rebel against me. Although I will bring them out of the land where they are living, yet they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.^(B)

³⁹ “‘As for you, people of Israel, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Go and serve your idols,^(C) every one of you! But afterward you will surely listen to me and no longer profane my holy name^(D) with your gifts and idols.^{(E) 40} For on my holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel,^(F) declares the Sovereign Lord, there in the land all the people of Israel will serve me, and there I will accept them. There I will require your offerings^(G) and your choice gifts,^[a] along with all your holy sacrifices.^{(H) 41} I will accept you as fragrant incense^(I) when I bring you out from the nations and gather^(J) you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will be proved holy^(K) through you in the sight of the nations.^{(L) 42} Then you will know that I am the Lord,^(M) when I bring you into the land of Israel,^(N) the land I had sworn with uplifted hand to give to your ancestors.^{(O) 43} There you will remember your conduct^(P) and all the actions by which you have defiled yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves^(Q) for all the evil you have done.^{(R) 44} You will know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake^(S) and not according to your evil ways and your corrupt practices, you people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(T)’”
