*
I will purge out the rebels from among you ,
and those who transgress against me ;
I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn ,
but they shall not enter the land of Israel .
Then you will know that I am the LORD .
* "
As for you ,
O house of Israel ,
thus says the Lord GOD :
Go serve every one of you his idols ,
now and hereafter ,
if you will not listen to me ;
but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts and your idols .
* "
For on my holy mountain ,
the mountain height of Israel ,
says the Lord GOD ,
there all the house of Israel ,
all of them ,
shall serve me in the land ;
there I will accept them ,
and there I will require your contributions and the choicest of your gifts ,
with all your sacred offerings .
*
As a pleasing odor I will accept you ,
when I bring you out from the peoples ,
and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered ;
and I will manifest my holiness among you in the sight of the nations .
