²²“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, ^cbut for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. ²³And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am ^dhallowed in you before their eyes. ²⁴For ^eI will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. ²⁵^fThen I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you ^gfrom all your filthiness and from all your idols. ²⁶I will give you a ^hnew heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷I will put My ⁱSpirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. ²⁸^jThen you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; ^kyou shall be My people, and I will be your God.
