Ezekiel 36:22-28
22 “Therefore, say to the house of Israel: This is what the Lord God says: It is not for your sake that I will act,(A) house of Israel, but for My holy name,(B) which you profaned among the nations where you went.
23 I will honor the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. The nations will know that I am Yahweh”—the declaration of the Lord God—“when I demonstrate My holiness through you in their sight.(C)
24 “For I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.(D)
25 I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean.(E) I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.(F)
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you;(G) I will remove your heart of stone(a) and give you a heart of flesh.(H)
27 I will place My Spirit within you(I) and cause you to follow My statutes and carefully observe My ordinances.(J)
28 Then you will live in the land that I gave your fathers;(K) you will be My people, and I will be your God.(L)
