Ezekiel 36:24-37

New American Standard Bible

²⁴For I will ^(A)take you from the nations, and gather you from all the lands; and I will bring you into your own land. ²⁵Then I will ^(B)sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your ^(C)filthiness and from all your ^(D)idols. ²⁶Moreover, I will give you a ^(E)new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the ^(F)heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷And I will ^(G)put My Spirit within you and bring it about that you walk in My statutes, and are careful and ^[a]follow My ordinances. ²⁸And you will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be ^(H)My people, and I will be your God. ²⁹Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I ^(I)will not ^[b]bring a famine on you. ³⁰Instead, I will ^(J)multiply 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. ³¹Then you will ^(K)remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your wrongdoings and your abominations. ³²I am not doing this ^(L)for your sake,” declares the Lord God; “let that be known to you. Be ashamed and humiliated for your ways, house of Israel!”

³³‘This is what the Lord God says: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your wrongdoings, I will populate the ^(M)cities, and the ^(N)places of ruins will be rebuilt. ³⁴The desolated land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by. ³⁵And they will say, ‘This desolated land has become like the ^(O)Garden of Eden; and the waste, desolated and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’ ³⁶Then the nations around you that are left will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolated; I, the Lord, have spoken, and I ^(P)will do it.”
