New Testament

Ezekiel 36:25-38 Modern English Version (MEV)

25. Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean. From all your filthiness and from all your idols, I will cleanse you.

26. Also, I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

27. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

28. You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you will be My people, and I will be your God.

29. I will also save you from all your uncleanness. And I will call for the grain and increase it and lay no famine upon you.

30. I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field so that you shall receive no more reproach of famine among the nations.

31. Then you shall remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations.

32. Not for your sake am I doing this, says the Lord God, let it be known to you. Be ashamed and humiliated for your ways, O house of Israel!

33. Thus says the Lord God: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause you to dwell in the cities, and the waste places shall be built.

34. The desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all who pass by.

35. They shall say, “This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. And the waste and desolate and ruined cities have become fenced and inhabited.”

36. Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

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.

38. As the flock for sacrifices, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
