Restoration for God’s People

25 “So now, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will end the captivity of my people[a]; I will have mercy on all Israel, for I jealously guard my holy reputation! 26 They will accept responsibility for[b] their past shame and unfaithfulness after they come home to live in peace in their own land, with no one to bother them. 27 When I bring them home from the lands of their enemies, I will display my holiness among them for all the nations to see. 28 Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away to exile and brought them home again. I will leave none of my people behind. 29 And I will never again turn my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit upon the people of Israel. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

Israel Restored

25 Therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Now I will (A)restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on all the (B)house of Israel; and I will be (C)jealous for My holy name. 26 They will [a](D)forget their disgrace and all their [b]treachery which they perpetrated against Me, when they (E)live securely on their own land with (F)no one to make them afraid. 27 When I (G)bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall (H)show Myself holy [c]through them in the sight of the many nations. 28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then I gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer. 29 I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have (I)poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” declares the Lord God.
