Ezekiel 36:24–38

²⁴For ^zI will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and ^zzwill bring you into your own land.

²⁵Then will I ^asprinkle ^bclean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: ^cfrom all your filthiness, and ^ccfrom all your idols, ^dwill I cleanse you. ^26eA new heart also will I give you, and ^efa new spirit will I put within you: ^fand I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, ^fand I will give you an heart of flesh. ²⁷And ^gI will put my spirit within you, and cause you to ^hiwalk in my statutes, and ye shall ^ijkeep my judgments, ⁱand do them. ²⁸And ^kye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ^lye shall be my people, and I will be your God. ²⁹I will also ^msave you ^cfrom all your uncleannesses: and I will call for ⁿthe corn, and will increase it, and ^olay no famine upon you. ³⁰And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, ^pand the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. ³¹Then ^qrshall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and ^rshall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. ^32sNot for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. ³³Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that ^cI shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I ^kwill also ^tcause you to dwell in the cities, ^tand the wastes shall be builded. ³⁴And ^uthe desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. ³⁵And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like ^vthe garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. ³⁶Then ^wthe heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord ^xbuild the ruined places, and ^xplant that that was desolate: ^yI the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it. ³⁷Thus saith the Lord God; ^zI will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; ^tI will increase them with men ^alike a flock. ³⁸As ^abthe ^†holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem ^din her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with ^aflocks of men: ^eand they shall know that I am the Lord.
