16. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because I have removed them far off among the Gentiles, and because I have scattered them among the countries: I will be to them a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
17. Therefore speak to them: Thus saith the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18. And they shall go in thither, and shall take away all the scandals, and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19. And I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:
20. That they may walk in my commandments, and keep my judgments, and do them: and that they may be my people, and I may be their God.
21. But as for them whose heart walketh after their scandals and abominations, I will lay their way upon their head, saith the Lord God.
