Ezekiel 36:19–27

¹⁹I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds.↗

²⁰When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and have left his land.’↗

²¹But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.↗

²²“Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.↗

²³I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,” says the Lord GOD, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.↗

²⁴“‘“For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.↗

²⁵I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.↗

²⁶I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.↗

²⁷I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.↗
