22 “Therefore thus say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Not for your sake [a] am I about to act, house of Israel, but[b] for my holy name,[c] which you defiled among the nations to which you went.[d] 23 And I will consecrate my great name, which was profaned among the nations and which you have profaned in the midst of them, and the nations will know that I am Yahweh!”’ a declaration of the Lord Yahweh, when I show myself holy[e] before[f] their eyes.

24 “‘And I will take you from the nations, and I will gather you from all of the lands, and I will bring you to your land. 25 And I will sprinkle on you pure water, and you will be clean from all of your uncleanness, and I will cleanse you from all of your idols. 26 And I will give a new heart to you, and a new spirit I will give[g] into your inner parts, and I will remove the[h] heart of stone from your flesh, and I will give to you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will give[i] my spirit into your inner parts, and I will make it so that you will go[j] in my rules, and my regulations you will remember, and you will do them. 28 And you will dwell in the land that I gave to your ancestors,[k] and you will be to me as a people, and I will be to you as[l] God.
