21. So I had compassion on my holy name, which the house of Israel degraded among the nations where they had gone.
22. Therefore, say to the house of Israel, The Lord God proclaims: House of Israel, I’m not acting for your sake but for the sake of my holy name, which you degraded among the nations where you have gone.
23. I will make my great name holy, which was degraded among the nations when you dishonored it among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord. This is what the Lord God says.When I make myself holy among you in their sight,
24. I will take you from the nations, I will gather you from all the countries, and I will bring you to your own fertile land.
25. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be cleansed of all your pollution. I will cleanse you of all your idols.
26. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove your stony heart from your body and replace it with a living one,
27. and I will give you my spirit so that you may walk according to my regulations and carefully observe my case laws.
28. Then you will live in the land that I gave to your ancestors, you will be my people, and I will be your God.
29. I will save you from all your uncleanness, and I will summon the grain and make it grow abundantly so that you won’t endure famine.
