And all ^(C)the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.

¹⁰ and crying out with a loud voice, saying, ^(A)“Salvation belongs to our God ^(B)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” ^11 (C)All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and ^(D)worshiped God, ^12 (E)saying:

¹⁴ Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us ^[a]diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

²⁵ “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(A)‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the ^(B)whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name— ^26 (C)after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they ^(D)dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. ^27 (E)When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I ^(F)am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, ^28 (G)then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them ^[a]captive any longer. ^29 (H)And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have ^(I)poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”

²¹ “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely ^(A)I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; ²² and ^(B)I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and ^(C)one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. ^23 (D)They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but ^(E)I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

^24 (F)“David My servant shall be king over them, and ^(G)they shall all have one shepherd; ^(H)they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. ^25 (I)Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, ^(J)forever; and ^(K)My servant David shall be their prince forever. ²⁶ Moreover I will ^[a]make ^(L)a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and ^(M)multiply them, and I will set My ^(N)sanctuary in their midst forevermore. ^27 (O)My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be ^(P)their God, and they shall be My people. ^28 (Q)The nations also will know that I, the Lord, ^(R)sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’ ”

²⁴ For ^(A)I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. ^25 (B)Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you ^(C)from all your filthiness and from all your idols. ²⁶ I will give you a ^(D)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 ^(E)Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. ^28 (F)Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; ^(G)you shall be My people, and I will be your God.

³⁷ Behold, I will ^(A)gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them ^(B)to dwell safely. ³⁸ They shall be ^(C)My people, and I will be their God; ³⁹ then I will ^(D)give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. ⁴⁰ And ^(E)I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but ^(F)I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. ⁴¹ Yes, ^(G)I will rejoice over them to do them good, and ^(H)I will ^[a]assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
