Ezekiel 36:24-32

The Voice

²⁴ I will take you away from the nations, gather you from all the foreign soils, and bring you back to your own land. ²⁵ I will sprinkle you with clean water, and you will be clean. I will wash away all of your dirtiness, and you will be clean and pure, free from the taint of idols. ²⁶ I will plant a new heart and new spirit inside of you. I will take out your stubborn, stony heart and give you a willing, tender heart of flesh. ²⁷ And I will put My Spirit inside of you and inspire you to live by My statutes and follow My laws. ²⁸ Then you will live in the same land I gave your ancestors; you will be My people, and I will be your God. ^29-30 I will rescue you from your impurity. I will summon the grain to produce large harvests and never bring a famine upon you again. I will increase your harvests of fruit and grain, so that you will never have to face the disgrace of famine again among the nations. ³¹ Then you will recall your evil ways and wicked deeds. You will recognize how bad they were and hate yourselves for all the shocking and despicable things you did! ³² But I, the Eternal Lord, am not doing this for your own good. You should still feel shame and humiliation for all you’ve done, people of Israel!”
