They Will Know That I Am Yahweh
22“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “It is anot for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, to which you have come. 23“I will aprove the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the bnations will know that I am Yahweh,” declares Lord Yahweh, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight. 24“And I will atake you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land. 25“Then I will 1,asprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your buncleanness and from all your cidols. 26“Moreover, I will give you a anew heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the bheart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27“I will aput My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to do My judgments. 28“And you will inhabit the land that I gave to your fathers; so you will be aMy people, and I will be your God. 29“Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I awill not 1bring a famine on you. 30“I will amultiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field so that you will not receive again the reproach of famine among the nations. 31“Then you will aremember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves to your own faces for your iniquities and your abominations. 32“I am not doing this afor your sake,” declares Lord Yahweh, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and feel dishonor for your ways, O house of Israel!”
33‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the acities to be inhabited, and the bwaste places will be rebuilt. 34“The desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by. 35“And they will say, ‘This desolate land has become like the agarden of Eden; and the waste, desolate, and 1ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’ 36“Then the nations that remain all around you will know that I, Yahweh, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, Yahweh, have spoken and awill do it.”
37‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “This also I will let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do for them: I will increase their men like a flock. 38“Like the aflock for holy offerings, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed times, so will the waste cities be filled with bflocks of men. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”’”
