|
|
17. Therefore say thou, Thus saith the Lord; I will also take them from the heathen, and gather them out of the lands wherein I have scattered them, and will give them the land of Israel.
|
17. Therefore H3651 say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will even gather H6908 you from H4480 the people H5971 , and assemble H622 you out of H4480 the countries H776 where H834 ye have been scattered H6327 , and I will give H5414 you H853 the land H127 of Israel H3478 .

|
|
20. that they may walk in my commandments, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.
|
20. That H4616 they may walk H1980 in my statutes H2708 , and keep H8104 mine ordinances H4941 , and do H6213 them H853 : and they shall be H1961 my people H5971 , and I H589 will be H1961 their God H430 .

|
21. And as for the heart set upon their abominations and their iniquities, as their heart went after them, I have recompensed their ways on their heads, saith the Lord.
|
21. But as for them whose heart H3820 walketh H1980 after H413 the heart H3820 of their detestable things H8251 and their abominations H8441 , I will recompense H5414 their way H1870 upon their own heads H7218 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
