Ezekiel 11:19-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. I will give my people hearts that are completely committed to me. I will give them a new spirit that is faithful to me. I will remove their stubborn hearts from them. And I will give them hearts that obey me.

20. Then they will follow my rules. They will be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people. And I will be their God.

21. "But some people have hearts that are committed to worshiping the statues of their evil gods. I hate those gods. Anything that happens to those people will be their own fault," announces the Lord and King.

22. Then the cherubim spread their wings. The wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was above them.

23. The glory of the Lord went up from the city. It stopped above the Mount of Olives east of it.

24. The Spirit of God lifted me up. He took me to those who had been brought to Babylonia as prisoners. Those are the things that happened in the visions the Spirit gave me. Then the visions I had seen were gone.
