Ezekiel 36:22-38 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord: I do not do this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom you went.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord: I do not do this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom you went. ²³ And I will sanctify My great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes. ²⁴ And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land; ²⁵ and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you. ²⁶ And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷ And I will put My Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in My ordinances, and to keep My judgments, and do them. ²⁸ And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to Me a people, and I will be to you a God. ²⁹ And I will save you from all your uncleannesses; and I will call for the grain, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you. ³⁰ And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine among the nations. ³¹ And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations. ³² Not for your sakes do I do this, says the Lord God, as it is known to you; be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. ³³ Thus says the Lord God: In the day in which I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built upon; ³⁴ and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of everyone that passed by. ³⁵ And they shall say, That desolate land has become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited. ³⁶ And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined cities and planted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and will do it. ³⁷ Thus says the Lord God: Yet for this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them, even men as sheep; ³⁸ as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
