Ezekiel 20:33-38

“As surely as I, the Sovereign LORD, am the living God, I warn you that in my anger I will rule over you with a strong hand, with all my power. I will show you my power and my anger when I gather you together and bring you back from all the countries where you have been scattered. I will bring you into the ‘Desert of the Nations,’ and there I will condemn you to your face. I will now condemn you just as I condemned your ancestors in the Sinai Desert,” says the Sovereign LORD. “I will take firm control of you and make you obey my covenant. I will take away from among you those who are rebellious and sinful. I will take them out of the lands where they are living now, but I will not let them return to the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
