²²“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “It is ^anot 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, to which you have come.

²³“I will ^aprove the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the ^bnations will know that I am Yahweh,” declares Lord Yahweh, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight.

²⁴“And I will ^atake you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land.

²⁵“Then I will ¹^asprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your ^buncleanness and from all your ^cidols.

²⁶“Moreover, I will give you a ^anew heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the ^bheart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

²⁷“I will ^aput My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to do My judgments.

²⁸“And you will inhabit the land that I gave to your fathers; so you will be ^aMy people, and I will be your God.
