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 observe My ordinances.

²⁸“You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be ^aMy people, and I will be your God.

²⁹“Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I ^awill not ¹bring a famine on you.

³⁰“I will ^amultiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you will not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations.

³¹“Then you will ^aremember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations.

³²“I am not doing this ^afor your sake,” declares the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!”

³³‘Thus says the Lord God, “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the ^acities to be inhabited, and the ^bwaste places will be rebuilt.

³⁴“The desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by.

³⁵“They will say, ‘This desolate land has become like the ^agarden of Eden; and the waste, desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’

³⁶“Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, the Lord, have spoken and ^awill do it.”

³⁷‘Thus says the Lord God, “This also I will let the house of Israel ask Me to do for them: I will increase their men like a flock.

³⁸“Like the ^aflock ¹for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with ^bflocks of men. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
