Ezekiel - Chapter 11
14 And the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying: 15 'Son of man, as for thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men
of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, concerning whom
the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get you far from the LORD! unto
us is this land given for a possession; 16 therefore say: Thus saith the
Lord GOD: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and
although I have scattered them among the countries, yet have I been to
them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they are come; 17 therefore
say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even gather you from the peoples,
and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and
I will give you the land of Israel. 18 And they shall come thither, and
they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations
thereof from thence. 19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put
a new spirit within you; and I will remove the stony heart out of their
flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh; 20 that they may walk in My
statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall be My
people, and I will be their God.
