"Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: "It is ^(C1)not for your sake, house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.

"And I will ^(C1)vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the ^(C2)nations will know that I am the LORD," declares the Lord GOD, "when I show Myself holy among you in their sight.

"For I will ^(C1)take you from the nations, and gather you from all the lands; and I will bring you into your own land.

"Then I will ^(C1)sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your ^(C2)filthiness and from all your ^(C3)idols.

"Moreover, I will give you a ^(C1)new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the ^(C2)heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

"And I will ^(C1)put My Spirit within you and bring it about that you walk in My statutes, and are careful and ^(F1)follow My ordinances.
