Ezekiel 20:39-44

[39] As for you, O house  of Israel,  thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  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.  [40] For in mine holy  mountain,  of the height  of Israel,  saith  the Lord  GOD,  there shall all the house  of Israel,  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,  with all your holy things.  [41] 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.  [42] And ye shall know  that I am the LORD,  when I shall bring  you into the land  of Israel,  into the country  for the which I lifted up  mine hand  to give  it to your fathers.  [43] 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.  [44] And ye shall know  that I am the LORD,  when I have wrought  with you for my name's  sake, not according to your wicked  ways,  nor according to your corrupt  doings,  O ye house  of Israel,  saith  the Lord  GOD.
