12 And I shall indeed walk in the midst of YOU and prove myself YOUR God,+ and YOU, on YOUR part, will prove yourselves my people.+

20 in order that they may walk in my own statutes and keep my own judicial decisions and actually carry them out;+ and they may really become my people+ and I myself may become their God.”’+

28 And YOU will certainly dwell in the land that I gave to YOUR forefathers,+ and YOU must become my people and I myself shall become YOUR God.’*+

7 And He went on to say to me:

“Son of man,* [this is]* the place of my throne+ and the place of the soles of my feet,+ where I shall reside in the midst of the sons of Israel to time indefinite;+ and no more will they, the house of Israel, defile my holy name,+ they and their kings,+ by their fornication and by the carcasses+ of their kings at their death,*

23 And I shall certainly sow her like seed for me in the earth,+ and I will show mercy to her who was not shown mercy,*+ and I will say to those not my people:* “You are my people”;+ and they, for their part,* will say: “[You are] my God.”’”*+
