²⁴ And I will ^(A)take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land.

²¹ And speak to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I will ^(A)take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;

¹² to ^(A)capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places, which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and property, who live at the ^[a]center of the world.’

²⁷ When I ^(A)return them from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall ^(B)prove Myself holy ^[a]through them in the sight of the many nations. ²⁸ Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then collected them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer.
