Ezekiel 20:36-38
New English Translation

36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Sovereign Lord. 37 I will make you pass under[a] the shepherd’s staff,[b] and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant. 38 I will eliminate from among you the rebels and those who revolt[c] against me. I will bring them out from the land where they have been residing, but they will not come to the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
