24 And there will be no more for the house of Israel a (A)prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am Lord Yahweh.”

Israel Regathered

25 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “When I (B)gather the house of Israel from the peoples, among whom they are scattered, and will manifest My holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they will (C)live in their [a]land which I gave to My servant Jacob. 26 They will (D)live in it securely; and they will (E)build houses, plant vineyards, and live securely when I (F)execute judgments upon all who scorn them all around them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”’”

24 No longer will Israel’s scornful neighbors
    prick and tear at her like briers and thorns.
For then they will know
    that I am the Sovereign Lord.

Restoration for Israel

25 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Israel will again live in their own land, the land I gave my servant Jacob. For I will gather them from the distant lands where I have scattered them. I will reveal to the nations of the world my holiness among my people. 26 They will live safely in Israel and build homes and plant vineyards. And when I punish the neighboring nations that treated them with contempt, they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
