Ezekiel 11:14-21
Christian Standard Bible
Promise of Israel’s Restoration
14 The word of the Lord came to me again: 15 “Son of man, your own relatives, those who have the right to redeem your property,[a][b] along with the entire house of Israel—all of them—are those to whom the residents of Jerusalem have said, ‘You are far from the Lord; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
16 “Therefore say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Though I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them(A) in the countries where they have gone.’
17 “Therefore say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: I will gather you from the peoples(B) and assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’
18 “When they arrive there, they will remove all its(C) abhorrent acts(D) and detestable practices from it. 19 I will give them integrity of[c] heart(E) and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone(F) from their bodies[d] and give them a heart of flesh,(G) 20 so that they will follow my statutes,(H) keep my ordinances, and practice them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.(I) 21 But as for those whose hearts pursue their desire for abhorrent acts and detestable practices, I will bring their conduct down on their own heads.”(J) This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Israel's New Heart and Spirit
14 And the word of the Lord came to me: 15 (A)“Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, your kinsmen,[a] the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, (B)‘Go far from the Lord; to us this land is given for a possession.’ 16 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet (C)I have been a sanctuary to them for a while[b] in the countries where they have gone.’ 17 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: (D)I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, (E)and I will give you the land of Israel.’ 18 And when they come there, (F)they will remove from it all its (G)detestable things and all its abominations. 19 (H)And I will give them one heart, and (I)a new spirit I will put within them. (J)I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh (K)and give them a heart of flesh, 20 (L)that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. (M)And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 (N)But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, (O)I will[c] bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord God.”
