Ezekiel 36:14-30 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. Therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation of children any more, says the Lord GOD.

15. Neither will I cause men to hear in you the shame of the nations any more, neither shall you bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shall you cause your nation to fall any more, says the Lord GOD.

16. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

17. Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

18. Therefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols with which they had polluted it:

19. And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

20. And when they entered unto the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and have gone forth out of his land.

21. But I had pity because of my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.

22. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; I do this not for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.

23. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD, says the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24. For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

27. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28. And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the grain, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

30. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you shall receive no more reproach of famine among the nations.
