Promise of Restoration

¹⁴Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹⁵“Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, ^[a]your fellow exiles, and the entire house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Keep far from the Lord; this land has been given ^(A)to us as a possession.’ ¹⁶Therefore say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Though I had removed them far away among the nations, and though I had scattered them among the countries, yet I was a ^(B)sanctuary for them for a little while in the countries where they had gone.”’ ¹⁷Therefore say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “I will ^(C)gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries among which you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”’ ¹⁸When they come there, they will ^(D)remove all its ^(E)detestable things and all its abominations from it. ¹⁹And I will ^(F)give them one heart, and put a new spirit within ^[b]them. And I will remove the ^(G)heart of stone from their flesh and give them a ^(H)heart of flesh, ²⁰so that they may ^(I)walk in My statutes, and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be ^(J)My people, and I shall be their God. ²¹^[c]But as for those whose hearts go after their ^(K)detestable things and abominations, I will ^[d]^(L)bring their conduct down on their heads,” declares the Lord God.

Israel to Be Renewed for His Name’s Sake

²²“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “It is ^(A)not for your sake, house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went. ²³And I will ^(B)vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the ^(C)nations will know that I am the Lord,” declares the Lord God, “when I show Myself holy among you in their sight. ²⁴For I will ^(D)take you from the nations, and gather you from all the lands; and I will bring you into your own land. ²⁵Then I will ^(E)sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your ^(F)filthiness and from all your ^(G)idols. ²⁶Moreover, I will give you a ^(H)new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the ^(I)heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷And I will ^(J)put My Spirit within you and bring it about that you walk in My statutes, and are careful and ^[a]follow My ordinances. ²⁸And you will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be ^(K)My people, and I will be your God. ²⁹Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I ^(L)will not ^[b]bring a famine on you. ³⁰Instead, I will ^(M)multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you will not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations. ³¹Then you will ^(N)remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your wrongdoings and your abominations. ³²I am not doing this ^(O)for your sake,” declares the Lord God; “let that be known to you. Be ashamed and humiliated for your ways, house of Israel!”
