¹⁴ if My people who are ^(A)called by My name will ^(B)humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, ^(C)then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

²⁰ And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand ^(A)before their eyes.

²¹ “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely ^(B)I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; ²² and ^(C)I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and ^(D)one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. ^23 (E)They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but ^(F)I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

^24 (G)“David My servant shall be king over them, and ^(H)they shall all have one shepherd; ^(I)they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. ^25 (J)Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, ^(K)forever; and ^(L)My servant David shall be their prince forever. ²⁶ Moreover I will ^[a]make ^(M)a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and ^(N)multiply them, and I will set My ^(O)sanctuary in their midst forevermore. ^27 (P)My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be ^(Q)their God, and they shall be My people. ^28 (R)The nations also will know that I, the Lord, ^(S)sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’ ”
