020:031 and when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons
to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all
your idols to this day? and shall I be inquired of by you,
house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will
not be inquired of by you;
020:032 and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all,
in that you say, We will be as the nations, as the families
of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
020:033 As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely with a mighty hand,
and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out,
will I be king over you:
020:034 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out
of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand,
and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;
020:035 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples,
and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
020:036 Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness
of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you,
says the Lord Yahweh.
020:037 I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you
into the bond of the covenant;
020:038 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who
disobey 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 you shall know that I am Yahweh.
020:039 As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Go you,
serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will
not listen to me; but my holy name shall you no more profane
with your gifts, and with your idols.
020:040 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel,
says the Lord Yahweh, there shall all the house of Israel,
all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them,
and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits
of your offerings, with all your holy things.
020:041 As a sweet savor will I accept you, when I bring you out from
the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you
have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight
of the nations.
020:042 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall bring you into
the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give
to your fathers.
020:043 There shall you remember your ways, and all your doings,
in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall
loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils
that you have committed.
020:044 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have dealt with you
for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways,
nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel,
says the Lord Yahweh.
