33 “‘As I live, declares the Almighty Lord, I will rule you with a mighty hand and a powerful arm, and I will pour out my fury.
34 I will bring you out from the nations and gather you from the countries where I have scattered you with my mighty hand and powerful arm. I will pour out my fury.
35 I will bring you into the desert of the nations. There I will put you on trial face to face.
36 I will put you on trial as I put your ancestors on trial in the desert of Egypt, declares the Almighty Lord.
37 Then I will make you suffer punishment and make you keep the terms of the promise.
38 I will get rid of rebels and those who do wrong against me. I will bring you out of the land where you are living. You will never enter Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
39 “‘Nation of Israel, this is what the Almighty Lord says: Serve your disgusting idols. But afterwards, you will listen to me. You will no longer dishonor my holy name with your gifts and your disgusting idols.
