Ezekiel 20:32-37 American Standard Version (ASV)

32. and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, in that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

33. As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:

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

35. and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.

36. Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

37. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
