Ezekiel 36:25

Purity Forgiveness New life and rebirth

²³ I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes.

²⁴ For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land.

I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.

²⁶ I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

²⁷ And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
