Ezekiel:36:11-
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I will multiply upon you man and beast ;
and they shall increase and bring fruit :
and I will settle you after your old estates ,
and will do better unto you than at your beginnings ri #
shah #:
and ye shall know that I am the LORD .
*
Yea ,
I will cause men to walk upon you ,
even my people Israel Yisra #
el #;
and they shall possess thee ,
and thou shalt be their inheritance ,
and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
Because they say unto you ,
Thou land devourest up men ,
and hast bereaved thy nations ;
*
Therefore thou shalt devour men no more ,
neither bereave thy nations any more ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more ,
neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more ,
neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
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 removed woman .
*
Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land ,
and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it :
*
And I scattered them among the heathen ,
and they were dispersed through the countries :
according to their way and according to their doings I judged them .
*
And when they entered unto the heathen ,
whither they went ,
they profaned my holy name ,
when they said to them ,
These are the people of the LORD ,
and are gone forth out of his land .
*
But I had pity for mine holy name ,
which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen ,
whither they went .
*
Therefore say unto the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
I do not this for your sakes ,
O house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
but for mine holy names sake ,
which ye have profaned among the heathen ,
whither ye went .
*
And I will sanctify my great name ,
which was profaned among the heathen ,
which ye have profaned in the midst of them ;
and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD ,
saith the Lord GOD ,
when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes .
*
For I will take you from among the heathen ,
and gather you out of all countries ,
and will bring you into your own land .
*
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you ,
and ye shall be clean :
from all your filthiness tum #
ah #,
and from all your idols ,
will I cleanse you .
*
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 an heart of flesh .
*
And I will put my spirit within you ,
and cause you to walk in my statutes ,
and ye shall keep my judgments ,
and do them .
*
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers ;
and ye shall be my people ,
and I will be your God .
*
I will also save you from all your uncleannesses tum #
ah #:
and I will call for the corn ,
and will increase it ,
and lay no famine upon you .
*
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree ,
and the increase of the field ,
that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen .
*
Then shall ye remember your own evil ways ,
and your doings that were not good ,
and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations tow #
ebah #.
*
Not for your sakes do I this ,
saith the Lord GOD ,
be it known unto you :
be ashamed and confounded for your own ways ,
O house of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities ,
and the wastes shall be builded .
*
And the desolate land shall be tilled ,
whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by .
*
And they shall say ,
This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden ;
and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced ,
and are inhabited .
*
Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places ,
and plant that that was desolate :
I the LORD have spoken it ,
and I will do it .
*
Thus saith the Lord GOD ;
I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
to do it for them ;
I will increase them with men like a flock tso #
n #.
*
As the holy flock tso #
n #,
as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts mow #
ed #;
so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men :
and they shall know that I am the LORD .
