Ezekiel 20:39-41
American Standard Version
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols, [a]and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me; but my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.
40 For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the [b]first-fruits of your [c]oblations, with all your holy things. 41 [d]As a sweet savor will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

New International Version
39 “‘As for you, people of Israel, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Go and serve your idols,(A) every one of you! But afterward you will surely listen to me and no longer profane my holy name(B) with your gifts and idols.(C) 40 For on my holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel,(D) 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(E) and your choice gifts,[a] along with all your holy sacrifices.(F) 41 I will accept you as fragrant incense(G) when I bring you out from the nations and gather(H) you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will be proved holy(I) through you in the sight of the nations.(J)
