The Departure of God's Glory and Promise of Restoration

11
Chapter 11
16 Therefore I said, Thus says the Lord GOD: because you have distanced them among the nations and because you have scattered them in lands, I will be to them a little sanctuary in the lands where they have come. 17 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples, and I will assemble you from the lands where you were scattered among them, and I will give you the land of Israel. 18 And they will come there and remove all its abominations and idols and all its abominations from it. 19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you, and I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh, and I will give them a heart of flesh. 20 so that they walk in my statutes and keep my judgments and do them, and they be to me for a people and I be to them for God. 21 But as for those whose heart goes after their heart of their detestable things, I will bring their ways upon their own heads, says the Lord GOD. 22 The cherubim lifted their wings, and the wheels alongside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above. 23 The glory of the LORD went up from the middle of the city and stood on the mountain east of the city. 24 A spirit lifted me and brought me to the Chaldeans, to the exiles, in a vision by the spirit of God, and the vision that I saw went up from me. 25 And I spoke to the exiles all the words of the LORD that he had shown me.
