of them: that the
Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I
shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
36:24. For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you
together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own
land.
36:25. And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed
from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
36:26. And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give
you a heart of flesh.
36:27. And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause
you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
36:28. 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.
36:29. And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call
for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.
36:30. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of
the field, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the
nations.
36:31. And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that
were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall
displease you.
36:32. It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God,
be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house
of Israel.
36:33. Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from
all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and
shall repair the ruinous places,
36:34. And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in
the sight of all that passed by,
36:35. They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden
of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and
destroyed, are peopled and fenced.
36:36. And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know
that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was
desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.
36:37. Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of
Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a
flock of men,
36:38. As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts:
so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know
that I am the Lord.
