37:15. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

37:16. And thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of
Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another
stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all
the house of Israel, and of his associates.

37:17. And join them one to the other into one stick, and they shall
become one in thy hand.

37:18. And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying:
Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by this?

37:19. Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the
stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of
Israel that are associated with him, and I will put them together with
the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall be one
in his hand.

37:20. And the sticks whereon thou hast written, shall be in thy hand,
before their eyes.

37:21. And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I
will take of the children of Israel from the midst of the nations
whither they are gone: and I will gather them on every side, and will
bring them to their own land.

37:22. And I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of
Israel, and one king shall be king over them all: and they shall no more
be two nations, neither shall they be divided any more into two
kingdoms.

37:23. Nor shall they be defiled any more with their idols, nor with
their abominations, nor with all their iniquities: and I will save them
out of all the places in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse
them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

37:24. And my servant David shall be king over them, and they shall have
one shepherd: they shall walk in my judgments, and shall keep my
commandments, and shall do them.

37:25. And they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant
Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, they and
their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my
servant shall be their prince for ever.

37:26. And I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them: and I will establish them, and will
multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.

37:27. And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.

37:28. And the nations shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of
Israel,
