Ezekiel 11:20
18 When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19 And 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,
so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
21 But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
22 Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
