[:en]The Spirit lifted Ezekiel up and brought him to the gate of the house of the Lord that faced east. At the entrance from the gate were 25 men with Jaaniah and Pelatiah among them. God told him to prophesy that they will be driven out of the city and hand over to foreigners to inflict punishment to them. They will fall by the sword and God will execute judgment at the border of Israel. But God promised to gather and bring them back.
“I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heat of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God” (vs. 19-20)[:]
