Ezekiel 20:39-41
International Children’s Bible
39 “‘This is what the Lord God says: People of Israel, go serve your idols for now. But later you will listen to me. You will not continue to dishonor my holy name with your gifts and false gods. 40 My holy mountain is the high mountain of Israel. There all Israel will serve me in the land, says the Lord God. There I will accept you. There I will look for your offerings. I will look for the first harvest of your offerings and all your holy gifts. 41 I will accept you like a pleasing smell. This will happen when I bring you out from the foreign nations. It will take place when I gather you from the lands where you are scattered. Then through you I will show how holy I am. The nations will see it.

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)
