33By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you:
34And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose:
35And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face.
36As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.
37And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number:
38Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
39As for you, O children of Israel, the Lord has said: Let every man completely put away his images and give ear to me: and let my holy name no longer be shamed by your offerings and your images.
