Verse
Ezekiel - ch 36 v 21 - 38
- And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in.
- Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went.
- And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
- For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
- And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
- And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
- And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
- And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
- And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.
- And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the held, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
- And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.
- It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel.
- Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places,
- And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by,
- They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced.
- And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.
- Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,
- As a holy dock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
