"Eze 36:23  And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Eze 36:24  For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Eze 36:25  And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
Eze 36:26  And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27  And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
Eze 36:28  And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God."
Ezekiel 36:23-28

"Psa 51:12 Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Psa 51:13 Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Psa 51:14 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
Psa 51:15 I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
Psa 51:18 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
Psa 51:19 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. "
Psalm 51:12-15,18-19

"Mat 22:1  And Jesus answering, spoke again in parables to them, saying:
Mat 22:2  The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son.
Mat 22:3  And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come.
Mat 22:4  Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage.
Mat 22:5  But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise.
Mat 22:6  And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.
Mat 22:7  But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.
Mat 22:8  Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy.
Mat 22:9  Go ye therefore into the highways; and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage.
Mat 22:10  And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests.
Mat 22:11  And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.
Mat 22:12  And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent.
Mat 22:13  Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14  For many are called, but few are chosen."
Matthew 22:1-14
