Ezekiel 31–36 | A New Heart and a New Spirit

In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we continue through the book of Ezekiel with chapters 31 through 36 from the King James Version.

Ezekiel speaks of the fall of proud kingdoms, laments over Egypt, and is reminded of his responsibility as a watchman to the house of Israel. The Lord then turns His attention toward the shepherds of Israel who have failed to care for the flock, promising that He Himself will search for His scattered sheep, feed them, bind up the broken, and raise up one shepherd over them.

These chapters move from warning toward one of Ezekiel’s most beautiful promises of renewal. God declares that He will gather His people, cleanse them from uncleanness, give them a new heart, place a new spirit within them, and cause them to walk in His ways.

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as Ezekiel chapters 31 to 36 lead us from pride and scattering toward the tender care of the Shepherd, cleansing, restoration, and the promise of a heart made new.
