Ezekiel 20:37-39

New Catholic Bible

³⁷ I will make you pass under the staff and bring you into the bond of the covenant. ³⁸ I will purge out those of you who revolt and rebel against me. I will bring them out of the land where they reside as aliens, but they will not set foot on the soil of Israel. Thus, you will know that I am the Lord.

³⁹ As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord God: Continue, each one of you, to serve your idols, now and hereafter, if you will not listen to me. But later on you will listen to me and never again profane my name with your gifts and your idols.
