Ezekiel:11:16-25

nasb@Ezekiel:11:16 @Then the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:11:17" @Son of man, when the house of Israel was living in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds; their way before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:18" @Therefore I poured out My wrath on them for the blood which they had shed on the land, because they had defiled it with their idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:19" @Also I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed throughout the lands. According to their ways and their deeds I judged them.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:20" @When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, 'These are the people of the LORD; yet they have come out of His land.'

nasb@Ezekiel:11:21" @But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:22" @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 My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:23" @I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD," declares the Lord GOD, "when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:24" @For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:25" @Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:26" @Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:27" @I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:28" @You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:29" @Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I will not bring a famine on you.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:30" @I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you will not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:31" @Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:32" @I am not doing this for your sake," declares the Lord GOD, "let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!"

nasb@Ezekiel:11:33 @'Thus says the Lord GOD, "On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:34" @The desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:35" @They will say, 'This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste, desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.'

nasb@Ezekiel:11:36" @Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, the LORD, have spoken and will do it."

nasb@Ezekiel:11:37 @'Thus says the Lord GOD, "This also I will let the house of Israel ask Me to do for them- I will increase their men like a flock.

nasb@Ezekiel:11:38" @Like the flock for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am the LORD."'"
