18. And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. 19. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: 20. That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21. But [as for them] whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.

Take away. Historically, this was partially fulfilled in the abhorrence with which the Jews regarded idolatry after their return from captivity. But God’s purposes far exceeded this. In vs. 18–21 God outlines His plans for the future of the new Israelite state. The passage is a forecast of conditions as they would have been if Israel had fully accepted and followed the divine program.
