²¹ “I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them.^{(A) 22} From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. ²³ And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.^{(B) 24} I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.^(C)

²⁵ “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob^[a](D) and will have compassion^(E) on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.^{(F) 26} They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety^(G) in their land with no one to make them afraid.^{(H) 27} When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.^{(I) 28} Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them^(J) to their own land, not leaving any behind.^{(K) 29} I will no longer hide my face^(L) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit^(M) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(N)”
