Ezekiel 20:38-44

38and I will 1purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will 2not enter the 3land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am the Lord.

39“As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God, “4Go, serve everyone his idols; 5but later you will surely listen to Me, and My holy name you will 6profane no longer with your gifts and with your idols. 40For on My holy mountain, on the high mountain of Israel,” declares the Lord God, “there the whole house of Israel, 7all of them, will serve Me in the land; there I will 8accept them and there I will 9seek your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things. 4110As a soothing aroma I will accept you when I 11bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I will prove Myself 12holy among you in the sight of the nations. 42And 13you will know that I am the Lord, 14when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the 15land which I swore to give to your forefathers. 43There you will 16remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves; and you will 17loathe yourselves in your own 18sight for all the evil things that you have done. 44Then 19you will know that I am the Lord when I have dealt with you 20for My name’s sake, not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord God.’”
