Ezekiel 20:33-39

New King James Version

God Will Restore Israel

³³ “As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely with a mighty hand, ^(A)with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you. ³⁴ I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. ³⁵ And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there ^(B)I will plead My case with you face to face. ^36 (C)Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.

³⁷ “I will make you ^(D)pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the ^(E)covenant; ^38 (F)I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but ^(G)they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

³⁹ “As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God: ^(H)“Go, serve every one of you his idols—and hereafter—if you will not obey Me; ^(I)but profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.
