Ezekiel 36:15-38

15I will not let you hearH8085 1insultsH3639 from the nationsH1471 anymoreH5750, norH3808 will you sufferH5375 2disgraceH2781 from the peoplesH5971 anyH5750 longerH5750, norH3808 will you make your nationH1471 3stumbleH3782 anyH5750 longerH5750,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.’”

16Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 17“SonH1121 of manH120, when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was livingH3427 on their own landH127, they 4defiledH2930 it by their waysH1870 and their deedsH5949; their wayH1870 beforeH6440 Me was like 5the uncleannessH2932 of a woman in her impurityH5079. 18Therefore I 6pouredH8210 outH8210 My wrathH2534 on them for the bloodH1818 whichH834 they had shedH8210 on the landH776, because they had defiledH2930 it with their idolsH1544. 19I also 7scatteredH6327 them among the nationsH1471, and they were dispersedH2219 throughout the landsH776. 8According to their waysH1870 and their deedsH5949 I judgedH8199 them. 20When they cameH935 to the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 they wentH935, they 9profanedH2490 My holyH6944 nameH8034, because it was saidH559 of them, ‘TheseH428 are the 10peopleH5971 of the LordH3068, yet they have leftH3318 His landH776.’ 21But I hadH2550 11concernH2550 for My 12holyH6944 nameH8034, whichH834 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 they wentH935.

22“ThereforeH3651 sayH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “It is 13not for your sakeH4616, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that I am about to actH6213, but for My holyH6944 nameH8034, whichH834 you have profanedH2490 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 you wentH935. 23And I will 14vindicateH6942 the holinessH6942 of My greatH1419 nameH8034 which has been profanedH2490 among the nationsH1471, whichH834 you have profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. Then the 15nationsH1471 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “when I showH6942 Myself holyH6942 among you in their sightH5869. 24For I will 16takeH3947 you from the nationsH1471, and gatherH6908 you from allH3605 the landsH776; and I will bringH935 you into your own landH127. 25Then I will 17sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 on you, and you will beH2891 cleanH2891; I will cleanseH2891 you from allH3605 your 18filthinessH2932 and from allH3605 your 19idolsH1544. 26Moreover, I will giveH5414 you a 20newH2319 heartH3820 and putH5414 a newH2319 spiritH7307 withinH7130 you; and I will removeH5493 the 21heartH3820 of stoneH68 from your fleshH1320 and giveH5414 you a heartH3820 of fleshH1320. 27And I will 22putH5414 My SpiritH7307 withinH7130 you and bringH6213 it aboutH6213 that you walkH1980 in My statutesH2706, and areH8104 carefulH8104 and 23followH6213 My ordinancesH4941. 28And you will liveH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your forefathersH1; so you will be 24My peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430. 29Moreover, I will saveH3467 you from allH3605 your uncleannessH2932; and I will callH7121 for the grainH1715 and multiplyH7235 it, and I 25will not 26bringH5414 a famineH7458 on you. 30Instead, I will 27multiplyH7235 the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086 and the produceH8570 of the fieldH7704, soH4616 thatH4616 you will not receiveH3947 againH5750 the disgraceH2781 of famineH7458 among the nationsH1471. 31Then you will 28rememberH2142 your evilH7451 waysH1870 and your deedsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and you will loatheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your wrongdoingsH5771 and your abominationsH8441. 32I am not doingH6213 this 29for your sakeH4616,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068; “let that be knownH3045 to you. BeH954 ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637 for your waysH1870, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478!”

33‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “On the dayH3117 that I cleanseH2891 you from allH3605 your wrongdoingsH5771, I will populateH3427 the 30citiesH5892, and the 31placesH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723 will be rebuiltH1129. 34The desolatedH8074 landH776 will be cultivatedH5647 insteadH8478 ofH8478 beingH1961 a desolationH8077 in the sightH5869 of everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 byH5674. 35And they will sayH559, ‘ThisH1976 desolatedH8074 landH776 has becomeH1961 like the 32GardenH1588 of EdenH5731; and the wasteH2720, desolatedH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are fortifiedH1219 and inhabitedH3427.’ 36Then the nationsH1471 aroundH5439 you that are leftH7604 will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, have rebuiltH1129 the ruinedH2040 places and plantedH5193 that which was desolatedH8074; I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696, and I 33will doH6213 it.”

37‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “ThisH2088 tooH5750 I will let the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 askH1875 Me to doH6213 for them: I will increaseH7235 their peopleH120 like a flockH6629. 38Like the 34flockH6629 35for sacrificesH6944, like the flockH6629 at JerusalemH3389 during her appointedH4150 feastsH4150, soH3651 will the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 be filledH4392 with 36flocksH6629 of peopleH120. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”’”
