²⁹ I will no longer hide my face^(A) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit^(B) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(C)”

²⁷ “Therefore, son of man, speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In this also your ancestors^(A) blasphemed^(B) me by being unfaithful to me:^(C)

¹⁸ So I poured out^(A) my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols. ¹⁹ I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered^(B) through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions.^{(C) 20} And wherever they went among the nations they profaned^(D) my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’^(E)

²³ I will show the holiness of my great name,^(A) which has been profaned^(B) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,^(C) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy^(D) through you before their eyes.^(E)
