Ezekiel 37:21-28

Living Bible

²¹ For the Lord God says: “I am gathering the people of Israel from among the nations and bringing them home from around the world to their own land, ²² to unify them into one nation. One king shall be king of them all; no longer shall they be divided into two nations. ²³ They shall stop polluting themselves with idols and their other sins, for I will save them from all this foulness. Then they shall truly be my people and I their God.

²⁴ “And David, my Servant—the Messiah—shall be their King, their only Shepherd; and they shall obey my laws and all my wishes. ²⁵ They shall live in the land of Israel where their fathers lived, the land I gave my servant Jacob. They and their children after them shall live there, and their grandchildren, for all generations. And my Servant David, their Messiah, shall be their Prince forever. ²⁶ And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting pact. I will bless them and multiply them and put my Temple among them forever. ²⁷ And I will make my home among them. Yes, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ²⁸ And when my Temple remains among them forever, then the nations will know that I, the Lord, have chosen Israel as my very own.”
