Ezekiel 28:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

The Nations Will Stop Laughing at Israel

²⁴ “‘Then the surrounding nations that hate Israel will no longer be like stinging nettles^[a] and painful thorns. And they will know that I am the Lord God.’”

²⁵ This is what the Lord God said: “I scattered the people of Israel among other nations, but I will gather the family of Israel together again. Then the nations will know that I am holy, and they will treat me that way. At that time the people of Israel will live in their land—I gave that land to my servant Jacob. ²⁶ They will live safely in the land. They will build houses and plant vineyards. I will punish the nations around them that hated them. Then the people of Israel will live in safety, and they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
