²²“Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name,ⁿ which you have profaned^o among the nations where you have gone.^p ²³I will show the holiness of my great name,^q which has been profaned^r among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,^s declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy^t through you before their eyes.^u

²⁴“ ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.^v ²⁵I will sprinkle^w clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse^x you from all your impurities^y and from all your idols.^z ²⁶I will give you a new heart^a and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone^b and give you a heart of flesh.^c ²⁷And I will put my Spirit^d in you and move you to follow my decrees^e and be careful to keep my laws.^f ²⁸Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people,^g and I will be your God.^h
