Ezekiel 36:16-28

Rotherham(i) 16 And the word of Yahweh came, unto me, saying: 17 Son of man, The house of Israel, were dwelling upon their own soil, But they defiled it, by their way, and by their doings. Like the defilement of her that is removed, became their way before me. 18 So I poured out mine indignation upon them, Because of the blood which they had shed upon the land,––Yea, with their manufactured gods, had they defiled it. 19 So I dispersed them among the nations, And they were scattered throughout the lands,––According to their way and according to their doings, I judged them. 20 But, when they entered among the nations where they did enter, then profaned they my holy, Name,––in that it was said of them, The people of Yahweh, these! Yet, from his land, have they come forth! 21 So then I had tender regard for my holy, Name,––Which the house of Israel, had profaned, among the nations, where they had entered. 22 Therefore, say thou to the house of Israel, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Not for your sakes, am I, working, O house of Israel, But for my holy, Name, which ye have profaned, among the nations where ye have entered; 23 Therefore will I hallow my great, Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst,––So shall the nations know, that, I, am Yahweh, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in you, before their eyes. 24 Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands,––And will bring you upon your own soil;
25 And I will throw upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean,––From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, will I cleanse you; 26 And I will give you a new heart, And, a new spirit, will I put within you,––And I will take away the heart of stone, out of your flesh, And will give you a heart of flesh; 27 And, my spirit, will I put within you, And will cause, That, in my statutes, ye shall walk, And, my regulations, ye shall observe, and do; 28 And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers,––And ye shall become my, people, And, I, will become your, God;
