Israel's New Heart and Spirit

Ezekiel 11

14 And the word of the Lord came to me: 15 q "Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, your kinsmen, 1 the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, r '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 s I have been a sanctuary to them for a while 2 in the countries where they have gone.' 17 Therefore say, 'Thus says the Lord God: t I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, t and I will give you the land of Israel.' 18 And when they come there, u they will remove from it all its v detestable things and all its abominations. 19 w And I will give them one heart, and x a new spirit I will put within them. y I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh z and give them a heart of flesh, 20 a that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. b And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 c But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, d I will 3 bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord God."

22 e Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, e and the glory of the God of Israel was over them. 23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and f stood on the mountain that is on the east side of the city. 24 g And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me h in the vision by the Spirit of God i into Chaldea, to the exiles. Then the vision that I had seen went up from me. 25 And I told the exiles all the things that the Lord had shown me.
