22. “Now then, give the Israelites the message that I, the Sovereign Lord, have for them: what I am going to do is not for the sake of you Israelites, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have disgraced in every country where you have gone.
23. When I demonstrate to the nations the holiness of my great name — the name you disgraced among them — then they will know that I am the Lord. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken. I will use you to show the nations that I am holy.
24. I will take you from every nation and country and bring you back to your own land.
25. I will sprinkle clean water on you and make you clean from all your idols and everything else that has defiled you.
26. I will give you a new heart and a new mind. I will take away your stubborn heart of stone and give you an obedient heart.
27. I will put my spirit in you and I will see to it that you follow my laws and keep all the commands I have given you.
28. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
29. I will save you from everything that defiles you. I will command the corn to be plentiful, so that you will not have any more famines.
30. I will increase the yield of your fruit trees and your fields, so that there will be no more famines to disgrace you among the nations.
