* As I live , saith the Lord GOD , surely with a mighty hand , and with a stretched out arm , and with fury poured out , will I rule over you : * And I will bring you out from the people , and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered , with a mighty hand , and with a stretched out arm , and with fury poured out . * And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people , and there will I plead with you face to face . * Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt , so will I plead with you , saith the Lord GOD . * And I will cause you to pass under the rod , and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant : * And I will purge out from among you the rebels , and them that transgress against me : I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn , and they shall not enter into the land of Israel Yisra #el #: and ye shall know that I am the LORD . * As for you , O house of Israel Yisra #el #, thus saith the Lord GOD ; Go ye , serve ye every one his idols , and hereafter also , if ye will not hearken unto me : but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts , and with your idols . * For in mine holy mountain , in the mountain of the height of Israel Yisra #el #, saith the Lord GOD , there shall all the house of Israel Yisra #el #, all of them in the land , serve me : there will I accept them , and there will I require your offerings , and the firstfruits of your oblations mas #eth #, with all your holy things . * I will accept you with your sweet savour , when I bring you out from the people , and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered ; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen . * And ye shall know that I am the LORD , when I shall bring you into the land of Israel Yisra #el #, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers . * And there shall ye remember your ways , and all your doings , wherein ye have been defiled ; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed . * And ye shall know that I am the LORD , when I have wrought with you for my names sake , not according to your wicked ways , nor according to your corrupt doings , O ye house of Israel Yisra #el #, saith the Lord GOD . * Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me , saying , * Son of man , set thy face toward the south , and drop thy word toward the south , and prophesy against the forest of the south field ; * And say to the forest of the south , Hear the word of the LORD ; Thus saith the Lord GOD ; Behold , I will kindle a fire in thee , and it shall devour every green tree in thee , and every dry tree : the flaming flame shall not be quenched , and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein .
