²⁵ Therefore, this is what the Lord God says. Now I will bring about the restoration of Jacob. I will have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name. ²⁶ They will bear their shame and all the unfaithfulness that they displayed toward me, even when they lived securely in their own land with no one to make them afraid. ²⁷ When I bring them back from the nations and gather them from the lands of their enemies, I will show myself to be holy among them in the sight of many nations. ²⁸ They will know that I am the Lord their God, because, even though I sent them into captivity among the nations, I also gathered them again to their own land, and I will never again leave any of them there in captivity. ²⁹ Nor will I ever hide my face from them again, because I will have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord God.
