Ezekiel 20:38

And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

(Zechariah 13:9; Zechariah 14:2).

I will purge out from among you the rebels - or, 'separate.' [Hebrew, baarowtiy (H1305), 'Barothi,' forming a designed alliteration with bªriyt (H1285) 'Berith', the covenant.] Not a promise of grace, but a threat against those Jews who thought they could in exile escape the observation and "rule" (Ezekiel 20:33) of God.

I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel - though brought out of the country of their sojourn or exile (Babylon formerly, and the various lands of their exile hereafter) into the literal land of Palestine, even it shall be to them an exile state, "they shall not enter into the land of Israel" - i:e., the spiritual state of restored favour of God to His covenant-people, which shall only be given to the remnant to be saved (Zechariah 13:8).
