Ezekiel 36:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² I assure you that it is not for your sake that I am doing all this, says the Lord God. Let that be clearly understood. Be ashamed and feel intense disgrace for your conduct, O house of Israel.

³³ Thus says the Lord God: On the day when I cleanse you from all your sins, I will repopulate your towns, and your ruins will be rebuilt. ³⁴ The wasteland will be cultivated instead of being a desolate sight to all who walk past it.
