Ezekiel 37:16-28

16“And you, son of man, take for yourself 1one stick and write on it, ‘For 2Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For 3Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17Then 4join them for yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. 18When the sons of your people speak to you saying, ‘Will you not declare to us 5what you mean by these?’ 19say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.”’ 20The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes. 21Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will 6take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22and I will make them 7one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and 8one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms. 23They will 9no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but 10I will deliver them from all their 11dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their God.

24“My servant 12David will be king over them, and they will all have 13one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. 25They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons’ sons, forever; and 14David My servant will be their prince forever. 26I will make a 15covenant of peace with them; it will be an 16everlasting covenant with them. And I will 17place them and 18multiply them, and will set My 19sanctuary in their midst forever. 27My 20dwelling place also will be with them; and 21I will be their God, and they will be My people. 28And the nations will know that I am the Lord 22who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”’”
