Ezekiel 20:38-40
The Voice
38 I will get rid of the rebels and traitors among you. I may bring them out of the lands where they are exiled, but I will not allow them back to the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Eternal One.
39 (to the people of Israel) Go ahead and worship your idols—all of you! Eventually, you will see that what you are doing is pointless. Then you will start listening to Me and stop profaning My sacred name with your gifts and false gods. 40 There upon the high mountain of Israel, which is My holy mountain residence, all the people of Israel will worship and serve Me when they return to the land. There I will accept them. There I will expect your gifts and your firstfruit offerings, with all of your other sacred duties to Me.

Ezekiel 20:38-40
New International Version
38 I will purge(A) you of those who revolt and rebel against me. Although I will bring them out of the land where they are living, yet they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(B)
39 “‘As for you, people of Israel, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Go and serve your idols,(C) every one of you! But afterward you will surely listen to me and no longer profane my holy name(D) with your gifts and idols.(E) 40 For on my holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel,(F) declares the Sovereign Lord, there in the land all the people of Israel will serve me, and there I will accept them. There I will require your offerings(G) and your choice gifts,[a] along with all your holy sacrifices.(H)
