⁷ Therefore the days are surely coming, says the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, “As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of Egypt,”^{(A) 8} but “As the Lord lives who brought out and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where he^[a] had driven them.” Then they shall live in their own land.
