17. Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and I will unite you, from the lands into which you were dispersed, and I will give the soil of Israel to you.
18. And they shall go to that place, and they shall remove all the offenses and all its abominations from that place.
19. And I will give them one heart. And I will distribute a new spirit to their interior. And I will take away the heart of stone from their body. And I will give them a heart of flesh.
20. So may they may walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them. And so may they be my people, and I will be their God.
21. But as for those whose heart walks after their offenses and abominations, I will set their own way upon their head, says the Lord God."
22. And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them. And the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

24. And the Spirit lifted me up, and he brought me into Chaldea, to those of the transmigration, in a vision, in the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen was raised up, away from me.
