Ezekiel 11 — Context

15

Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

16

For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.

17

Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give you the land of Israel.

18

And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.

19

And I will give them a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh:

20

So that they may be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

21

But as for those whose heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.
