Eze 36:22-33 | ESV | STEP | Therefore say to the house of Israel , Thus says the Lord God : It is not for your sake , O house of Israel , that I am about to act , but for the sake of my holy name , which you have profaned among the nations to which you came .

22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: ^aIt is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, ^bwhich you have profaned among the nations to which you came. 23 ^cAnd I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. ^dAnd the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. 24 ^eI will take you ^ffrom the nations and gather you from all the countries and ^gbring you into your own land. 25 ^hI will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from ⁱall your uncleannesses, and ^jfrom all your idols ^kI will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you ^la new heart, and ^ma new spirit I will put within you. ⁿAnd I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 ^oAnd I will put my Spirit within you, ^pand cause you to walk in my statutes and ^qbe careful to obey my rules. ^{▼▼Or my just decrees} 28 ^sYou shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and ^tyou shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 And ^uI will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And ^vI will summon the grain and make it abundant and ^wlay no famine upon you. 30 ^xI will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, ^ythat you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations. 31 Then ^zyou will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 ^aaIt is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

33 “Thus says the Lord God: On the day that ^abI cleanse you from all your iniquities, ^acI will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt.
