Ezekiel 36:25-38
36:25 I will sprinkle you with pure water
and you will be clean from all your impurities. I will purify you from all your idols.
36:26 I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone
from your body and give you a heart of flesh.
36:27 I will put my Spirit within you;
I will take the initiative and you will obey my statutes
and carefully observe my regulations.
36:28 Then you will live in the land I gave to your fathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
36:29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and multiply it; I will not bring a famine on you.
36:30 I will multiply the fruit of the trees and the produce of the fields, so that you will never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.
36:31 Then you will remember your evil behavior
and your deeds which were not good; you will loathe yourselves on account of your sins and your abominable deeds.
36:32 Understand that
it is not for your sake I am about to act, declares the sovereign
Lord. Be ashamed and embarrassed by your behavior, O house of Israel.
36:33 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: In the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will populate the cities and the ruins will be rebuilt.
36:34 The desolate land will be plowed, instead of being desolate in the sight of everyone who passes by.
36:35 They will say, “This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; the ruined, desolate, and destroyed cities are now fortified and inhabited.”
36:36 Then the nations which remain around you will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken – and I will do it!’
36:37 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: I will allow the house of Israel to ask me to do this for them: I will multiply their people like sheep.
36:38 Like the sheep for offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
