40 “For on my holy mountain,[a] on the mountain of the height of Israel,” declares[b] the Lord Yahweh, “there all of the house of Israel will serve me, all of them,[c] in the land. I will take pleasure in them, and there I will accept your contributions and the best of your portions with all of your holy objects. 41 I will accept you as a fragrant incense offering[d] when I bring you out from the peoples and I gather you from the lands to which you were scattered, and I will show myself holy among you before the eyes of the nations. 42 And you will know that I am Yahweh when I bring you to the land of Israel, to the land that I swore[e] to give to your ancestors. 43 And you will remember there your ways, and all of your deeds by which you were made unclean,[f] and you will feel a loathing for yourself[g] for all of your evils that you have done. 44 And you will know that I am Yahweh when I deal with you[h] for the sake of my name and not according to your evil ways[i] or according to[j] your corrupted deeds, house of Israel,” declares[k] the Lord Yahweh.
