12 And ye shall know that I am the Lord; For you have not walked in my commandments, neither have you kept my statutes, but have walked in accordance with the statutes of the nations around you.

13 And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. And I fell on my face, and cried out with a loud voice, and said, O Lord God! Do you want to destroy the remnant of Israel to the end?

14 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

15 Son of man! To your brethren, to your brethren, to your kinsmen, and to all the house of Israel, to all of them those who dwell in Jerusalem say, "Live far from the Lord; this land has been given to us in possession."

16 And say, 'Thus saith the Lord God, Though I have sent them away to the nations, and though I have scattered them into the lands, yet I will be a kind of sanctuary unto them in the lands whither they went.'

17 Then say, 'Thus says the Lord God: I will gather you from the nations, and I will bring you back from the lands to which you are scattered; and I will give you the land of Israel.

18 And they shall come thither, and shall cast out of it all her abominations, and all her abominations.

19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit in them, and I will take out of their flesh a heart of stone, and give them a heart of flesh,

20 that they should walk in my commandments, and keep my statutes, and keep them. and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21 And whose heart is carried away after their abominations and their abominations, I will turn their conduct upon their head, saith the Lord God.

22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel above them.

23 And the glory of the Lord arose out of the midst of the city, and stood over the mountain which is to the east of the city.

24 And the Spirit lifted me up, and carried me to Chaldea, to the exiles, in a vision, by the Spirit of God. And the vision that I had seen departed from me.

25 And I told the exiles all the words of the Lord which he had revealed to me.
