²¹ I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.^(A)

²² “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name,^(B) which you have profaned^(C) among the nations where you have gone.^{(D) 23} I will show the holiness of my great name,^(E) which has been profaned^(F) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,^(G) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy^(H) through you before their eyes.^(I)

²⁴ “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.^{(J) 25} I will sprinkle^(K) clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse^(L) you from all your impurities^(M) and from all your idols.^{(N) 26} I will give you a new heart^(O) and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone^(P) and give you a heart of flesh.^{(Q) 27} And I will put my Spirit^(R) in you and move you to follow my decrees^(S) and be careful to keep my laws.^{(T) 28} Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people,^(U) and I will be your God.^(V)

²¹ and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.^{(A) 22} I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.^(B) There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.^{(C) 23} They will no longer defile^(D) themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding,^[a](E) and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.^(F)

²⁴ “‘My servant David^(G) will be king^(H) over them, and they will all have one shepherd.^(I) They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.^{(J) 25} They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived.^(K) They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever,^(L) and David my servant will be their prince forever.^{(M) 26} I will make a covenant of peace^(N) with them; it will be an everlasting covenant.^(O) I will establish them and increase their numbers,^(P) and I will put my sanctuary among them^(Q) forever.^{(R) 27} My dwelling place^(S) will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.^{(T) 28} Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy,^(U) when my sanctuary is among them forever.^(V)’”

¹⁴ “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety,^(A) will you not take notice of it? ¹⁵ You will come from your place in the far north,^(B) you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army.^{(C) 16} You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud^(D) that covers the land.^(E) In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy^(F) through you before their eyes.^(G)

²³ And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.^(A)’

⁶ Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord.

“‘You have been a staff of reed^(E) for the people of Israel. ⁷ When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered^(F) and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.^[a](G)
