16 “So tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, I have been their sanctuary for a little while among the countries where they’ve gone.’
17 “So tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: I will bring them together from the nations and gather them from the countries where I’ve scattered them. I will give them the land of Israel.
18 They will come and remove all the disgusting and detestable things that are there.
19 I will give them a single purpose and put a new spirit in them. I will remove their stubborn hearts and give them obedient hearts.
20 Then they will live by my laws and obey my rules. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21 But as for those whose minds are set on following detestable and disgusting idols, I will pay them back for what they have done, declares the Almighty Lord.’ ”
22 Then the angels raised their wings, with the wheels beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was above them.
