Ezekiel 20:36-38

Expanded Bible

³⁶ I will judge you the same way I judged your ·ancestors [fathers] in the ·desert [wilderness] of the land of Egypt, says the Lord God. ³⁷ I will ·count you like sheep [^Lmake you pass under the rod/shepherd’s staff; Lev. 27:32] and will bring you into ·line with [^Lthe bond of] my ·agreement [covenant; treaty]. ³⁸ I will ·get rid of [purge out] those who ·refuse to obey me [revolt] and ·who turn [rebel] against me. I will bring them out of the land where they are now living, but they will never enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
