Therefore say, Thus says the Mighty One of Israel: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.
And when they return there, they shall take away from it all traces of its detestable things and all its abominations, sex impurities and heathen religious practices.
And I will give them one heart—a new heart; and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony unnaturally hardened heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh sensitive and responsive to the touch of their Mighty One. [Eze 18:31; Eze 36:26; 2Co 3:3]
That they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people, and I will be their Mighty One.
But as for those whose heart yearns for and goes after their detestable things and their loathsome abominations [associated with idolatry], I will repay their deeds upon their own heads, says the Mighty One of Israel.
For My Own Self …
Ezekiel 36:23-29
And I will vindicate the holiness of My great name and separate it for its holy purpose from all that defiles it–My name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them; and the nations will know, understand, and realize that I am the Master—t he Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service, when I shall be set apart by you and My holiness vindicated in you before their eyes and yours.
For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land.
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you.
A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them.
And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be My people, and I will be your Mighty One.
