Ezekiel 20:35-38

35And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face.

36Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.

37“I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

38I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
