Ezekiel 36:22-38 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, I deal thus with you, not for your sakes, house of Israel, but only for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, I deal thus with you, not for your sakes, house of Israel, but only for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. ²³ For I will hallow my great name which hath been profaned, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am hallowed by you before their eyes. ²⁴ When I take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and bring you into your own land; ²⁵ then I will sprinkle upon you pure water, and you shall be cleansed from all your impurities and from all your idols; and when I have cleansed you, ²⁶ I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh: ²⁷ And I will put my spirit in you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and to keep my judgments and practise them. ²⁸ And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people and I will be your God. ²⁹ And I will save you from all your impurities. And I will call for corn and multiply it: and no more send famine among you. ³⁰ And I will multiply the fruit of the trees and the products of the field; that you may no more bear the reproach of famine among the nations. ³¹ Then will you call to remembrance your evil ways, and your devices which were not good; and in their sight be grieved for your iniquities and your abominations. ³² It is not for your sakes that I do this, saith the Lord, Lord. This you must needs know. Blush and be ashamed for your ways, O house of Israel. ³³ Thus saith Adonai the Lord, when I have cleansed you from all your iniquities, I will cause your cities to be rebuilded and the desolate places shall be inhabited, ³⁴ and the land which was a waste shall be tilled. For as much as it was a waste in the sight of all who passed by; ³⁵ therefore they will say, "This land which was a waste is become like a paradise, and the waste, ruined and demolished cities are become places of strength;" ³⁶ and the nations which may be left around you shall know, that I the Lord have rebuilt the ruined cities, and planted the grounds which were a waste. I the Lord have spoken and I will perform. ³⁷ Thus saith Adonai the Lord, Still that they may do this, the house of Israel must seek me; ³⁸ I will multiply them like a flock, the men like holy flocks, like the flocks of Jerusalem at her festivals. So shall the wasted cities be filled with flocks of men, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
