New International Version

Ezekiel 20:33-38 New International Version (NIV)

33. As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will reign over you with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath.

34. I will bring you from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered—with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath.

35. I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations and there, face to face, I will execute judgment upon you.

36. As I judged your ancestors in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will judge you, declares the Sovereign Lord.

37. I will take note of you as you pass under my rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

38. I will purge 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.
