mkjv@Ezekiel:20:30 @ Therefore say to the house of Israel, So says the Lord Jehovah: Are you defiled in the same way as your fathers? And do you go whoring after their abominations?

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:31 @ For when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to [this] day. And shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I Live, says the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:32 @ And what comes up on your spirit shall not happen at all, that you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:33 @ [As] I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, I will reign over you.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:34 @ And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the lands in which you are scattered among them, with a mighty hand and with a stretched out arm and with fury poured out.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:35 @ And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:36 @ Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Jehovah.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:37 @ And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:38 @ And I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who sin against Me. I will bring them out from the land where they reside, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I [am] the LORD.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:39 @ And you, O house of Israel, so says the Lord Jehovah: [Every] man go and serve his idols, and do so from now on if you will not listen to Me. But never again defile My holy name with your gifts and with your idols.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:40 @ For in My holy mountain, in the mountain height [of] Israel, says the Lord Jehovah, there all the house of Israel, all of those in the land, shall serve Me. There will I receive them, and there will I ask for your offerings and the firstfruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:41 @ I will receive you with your sweet aroma when I bring you out from the people and gather you out of the lands into which you have been scattered among them. And I will be sanctified in you in the eyes of the nations.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:42 @ And you shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the land [for] which I lifted up My hand, to give it to your fathers.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:43 @ And there you shall remember your ways and all your doings in which you have been defiled. And you shall despise yourselves in your own sight for all your evils which you have committed.

mkjv@Ezekiel:20:44 @ And you shall know that I [am] the LORD when I have worked with you for My name's sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah.
