Ezekiel 20:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 20:33

31 For when you offer ^ayour gifts and make your sons pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live,” says the Lord God, “I will ^bnot be inquired of by you.

32 ^aWhat you have in your mind shall never be, when you say, ‘We will be like the Gentiles, like the families in other countries, serving wood and stone.’

God Will Restore Israel

33 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely with a mighty hand, ^awith an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you.

34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there ^aI will plead My case with you face to face.

36 ^aJust as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.

37 “I will make you ^apass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the ^bcovenant;

38 ^aI will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but ^bthey shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

39 “As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God: ^a“Go, serve every one of you his idols—and hereafter—if you will not obey Me; ^bbut profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.

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.

42 ^aThen you shall know that I am the Lord, ^bwhen I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I raised My hand in an oath to give to your fathers.
