God Will Restore Israel to Her Land

33 “As I live,” declares the Lord God, “with a mighty hand and with an (A)outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I assuredly shall be (B)king over you. 34 I will (C)bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with (D)wrath poured out; 35 and I will bring you into the (E)wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face. 36 Just as I (F)entered into judgment with your fathers in the (G)wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you,” declares the Lord God. 37 “I will make you (H)pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant; 38 and I will (I)purge from you the rebels and those who revolt against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they reside, but they will (J)not enter the [a]land of Israel. So you will know that I am the Lord.

39 “As for you, house of Israel,” this is what the Lord God says: “(K)Go, serve, everyone of you his idols; [b]but later you will certainly listen to Me, and My holy name you will no longer (L)defile with your gifts and your idols.

With a powerful hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, 35 I’ll bring you into the wilderness of the nations. I’ll judge you right there, face to face. 36 Just as I judged your ancestors in the wilderness in the land of Egypt, so I’ll judge you,” declares the Lord. 37 “I’ll cause you to pass under the rod until I will have brought you into the bond of the covenant. 38 I’ll eliminate the rebels among you, along with those who are transgressing against me. I’ll bring them out of the land where you’ve lived, but they won’t be able to enter the land of Israel. Then you’ll know that I am the Lord.”

The Coming Regathering of Israel
