40 For ^aon My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord God, “there ^ball the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there ^cI will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your¹ sacrifices, together with all your holy things.  ‡

41 I will accept you as a ^asweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles.  ‡

43 And ^athere you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and ^byou shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed.  ‡

44 ^aThen you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have dealt with you ^bfor My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord God.’ ”  ‡
