Ezekiel 36:20-28

20When they came to the nations where they went, they 1profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the 2people of the Lord; yet they have come out of His land.’ 21But I had 3concern for My 4holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.

22“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “It is 5not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went. 23I will 6vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the 7nations will know that I am the Lord,” declares the Lord God, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight. 24For I will 8take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. 25Then I will 9sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your 10filthiness and from all your 11idols. 26Moreover, I will give you a 12new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the 13heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27I will 14put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. 28You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be 15My people, and I will be your God.
