25 (A)Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you (B)from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a (C)new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My (D)Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 28 (E)Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; (F)you shall be My people, and I will be your God. 29 I will (G)deliver you from all your uncleannesses. (H)I will call for the grain and multiply it, and (I)bring no famine upon you. 30 (J)And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. 31 Then (K)you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you (L)will [a]loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 (M)Not for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!”
