The following options should do what you want:

ExcludeNodes node,node,...
A list of identity fingerprints, nicknames, country codes and address
patterns of nodes to never use when building a circuit.

ExcludeExitNodes node,node,...
A list of identity fingerprints, nicknames, country codes and address
patterns of nodes to never use when picking an exit node. Note that any
node listed in ExcludeNodes is automatically considered to be part of
this list.

StrictNodes 0|1
If 1 and EntryNodes config option is set, Tor will never use any nodes
besides those listed in EntryNodes for the first hop of a normal
circuit. If 1 and ExitNodes config option is set, Tor will never use
any nodes besides those listed in ExitNodes for the last hop of a
normal exit circuit. Note that Tor might still use these nodes for
non-exit circuits such as one-hop directory fetches or hidden service
support circuits.
