Ezekiel 36:22-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²² Therefore say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came.^{(A) 23} I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations and which you have profaned among them, and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, says the Lord God, when through you I display my holiness before their eyes.^{(B) 24} I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.^{(C) 25} I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.^{(D) 26} A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you, and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.^{(E) 27} I will put my spirit within you and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances.^{(F) 28} Then you shall live in the land that I gave to your ancestors, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.^(G)
