³⁹ “‘This is what the Lord God says: ·People [^LHouse] of Israel, go serve your idols for now. ·But later you will [or …if you will not] listen to me; you will not continue to ·dishonor [profane; ^Critually] my holy name with your gifts and ·gods [idols]. ⁴⁰ [^LFor] On my holy mountain [^CMount Zion; Ps. 2:6; 3:4; 15:1], the high mountain of Israel, all [^Lthe house of] Israel will serve me in the land, says the Lord God. There I will accept you. There I will ·expect [require] your ·offerings [contributions], ·the first harvest of your offerings [or your choicest gifts], and all your holy gifts. ⁴¹ I will accept you like ·the pleasing smell of sacrifices [a pleasing aroma; a fragrant incense; Ps. 141:2] when I bring you out from the nations and gather you from the lands where you are scattered. Then through you I will ·show how holy I am [manifest/display my holiness] ·so the nations will see [^Lin the eyes/sight of the nations].
