I will give you a new heart

The children of Israel had become so corrupt and worldly that God scattered them among the nations as a judgment against them Ezekiel 36, (17-19). And they only got worse!
While dispersed in foreign lands, they brought shame to the Lord. They continued to profane His name. The foreigners even said, “These are the people of YHWH, and yet they have gone out of His land,” meaning He could not keep them safe.
The LORD’s reputation was being tarnished. His ability to provide for and protect His people was called into question by pagan unbelievers. Was Israel’s God inadequate at the task of…being God?
