Ezekiel 20:36-38

Living Bible

^35-36 and will bring you into my desert judgment hall.^[a] I will judge you there and get rid of the rebels, just as I did in the wilderness after I brought you out of Egypt. ³⁷ I will count you carefully and let only a small quota return. ³⁸ And the others—the rebels and all those who sin against me—I will purge from among you. They shall not enter Israel, but I will bring them out of the countries where they are in exile. And when that happens, you will know I am the Lord.
