*
Therefore say to the house of Israel ,
Thus says lord LORD :
Do ye pollute yourselves according to the manner of your fathers ,
and play ye the harlot according to their abominations ?
*
And when ye offer your gifts ,
when ye make your sons to pass through the fire ,
do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day ?
And shall I be inquired of by you ,
O house of Israel ?
As I live ,
says lord LORD ,
I will not be
*
And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all ,
in that ye say ,
We will be as the nations ,
as the families of the countries ,
to serve wood and stone .
*
As I live ,
says lord LORD ,
surely with a mighty hand ,
and with an outstretched arm ,
and with wrath poured out ,
I will be king over you .
*
And I will bring you out from the peoples ,
and will gather you out of the countries in which ye are scattered ,
with a mighty hand ,
and with an outstretched arm ,
and with wrath poured out ,
*
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples .
And there I will enter into judgment with you face to face .
*
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 lord LORD .
*
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 those who transgress against me .
I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn ,
but they shall not enter into the land of Israel .
And ye shall know that I am LORD .
*
As for you ,
O house of Israel ,
thus says lord LORD :
Go ye .
Serve each one his idols ,
and hereafter also ,
if ye will not hearken to me .
But ye shall no more profane my holy name with your gifts ,
and with your idols .
*
For in my holy mountain ,
in the mountain of the height of Israel ,
says lord LORD ,
there shall all the house of Israel ,
all of them ,
serve me in the land .
There I will accept them ,
and there I will require your offerings ,
and the fi
*
I will accept you as a sweet savor when I bring you out from the peoples ,
and gather you out of the countries in which ye have been scattered .
And I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations .
*
And ye shall know that I am LORD when I shall bring you into the land of Israel ,
into the country which I swore to give to your fathers .
*
And there ye shall remember your ways ,
and all your doings ,
by which ye have polluted yourselves .
And ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed .
*
And ye shall know that I am LORD when I have dealt with you for my name '
s sake ,
not according to your evil ways ,
nor according to your corrupt doings ,
O ye house of Israel ,
says lord LORD .
