Ezekiel 20:38-40
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
38 I will sort out from you those who defied me and rebelled against me; from the land where they resided as aliens I will bring them out, but they shall not return to the land of Israel. Thus you shall know that I am the Lord.
39 As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord God: Go! each of you, and worship your idols. Listen to me! You shall never again desecrate my holy name with your offerings and your idols!(A) 40 For on my holy mountain,[a] on the highest mountain in Israel—oracle of the Lord God—there the whole house of Israel shall worship me; there in the land I will accept them all, there I will claim your tributes, the best of your offerings, from all your holy things.(B)

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)
