24 “And for the house of Israel (A)there shall be no more a brier to prick or (B)a thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors (C)who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.

Israel Gathered in Security

25 “Thus says the Lord God: (D)When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and (E)manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, (F)then they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 (G)And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, (H)when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors (I)who have treated them with contempt. (J)Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”

24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord God.

25 Thus saith the Lord God; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.
