14 Então veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:

15 Filho do homem, teus irmãos, são teus irmãos, os homens de teu parentesco e toda a casa de Israel, ela toda são a quem os moradores de Jerusalém disseram: Afastai-vos do SENHOR; a terra é dada a nós em possessão.

16 Por isso dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Ainda que os tenha lançado longe entre as nações, e tenha os dispersado pelas terras, contudo por um pouco [tempo] eu lhes serei por santuário nas terras para onde vieram.

17 Por isso dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eu vos ajuntarei dos povos, e vos recolherei das terras as quais fostes dispersos, e vos darei a terra de Israel.

18 E virão para lá, e tirarão dela todas suas coisas detestáveis e todas as suas abominações.
