Ezekiel 20:33-39

New Century Version

³³ As surely as I live, says the Lord God, I will use my great power and strength and anger to rule over you. ³⁴ I will bring you out from the foreign nations. With my great power and strength and anger I will gather you from the lands where you are scattered. ³⁵ I will bring you among the nations as I brought your ancestors into the desert with Moses. There I will judge you face to face. ³⁶ I will judge you the same way I judged your ancestors in the desert of the land of Egypt, says the Lord God. ³⁷ I will count you like sheep and will bring you into line with my agreement. ³⁸ I will get rid of those who refuse to obey me and who turn against me. I will bring them out of the land where they are now living, but they will never enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

³⁹ “‘This is what the Lord God says: People of Israel, go serve your idols for now. But later you will listen to me; you will not continue to dishonor my holy name with your gifts and gods.
