Ezekiel

¹⁹and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. ²⁰And when they came unto the nations, whither they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land. ²¹But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they went. ²²Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye went. ²³And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord GOD when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. ²⁴For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. ²⁵And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
