Ezekiel 20:34 BBE

³²  And that which comes into your minds will never take place; when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, servants of wood and stone;

³³  By 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:

³⁴  And 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:

³⁵  And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face.

³⁶  As 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.
