17Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
18When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,
20so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
— Ezekiel 11:17-20
