Ezekiel 20:39-42

39“As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God, “1Go, serve everyone his idols; 2but later you will surely listen to Me, and My holy name you will 3profane 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, 4all of them, will serve Me in the land; there I will 5accept them and there I will 6seek your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things.

41 7As a soothing aroma I will accept you when I 8bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I will prove Myself 9holy among you in the sight of the nations.

42And 10you will know that I am the Lord, 11when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the 12land which I swore to give to your forefathers.
