I am taking the Israelites^[a] from among the nations to which they went,^[b] and I will gather them from everywhere,^[c] and I will bring them to their own soil. ²² And I will make them into one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel, and they will all have one king as their king,^[d] and they^[e] will not again be two nations and will not again divide into two kingdoms again. ²³ And they will not defile themselves again with their idols and with vile idols and with all of their transgressions, and I will save them from all of their apostasy by which they sinned,^[f] and I will cleanse them and they will be for me as a people and I, I will be for them as God.
