The Lord Will Restore Israel

25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now (A)I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on (B)the whole house of Israel, and (C)I will be jealous for my holy name. 26 They shall (D)forget their shame and all the treachery they have practiced against me, when (E)they dwell securely in their land with (F)none to make them afraid, 27 (G)when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies' lands, (H)and through them have vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations. 28 (I)Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations and then assembled them into their own land. I will leave none of them remaining among the nations anymore. 29 (J)And I will not hide my face anymore from them, when (K)I pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Lord God.”

The Final Restoration of Israel

25 “Therefore this is what the Lord God has to say: ‘I’m going to restore the resources of Jacob and show mercy to the entire house of Israel. I’ll be zealous for my own reputation[a] and for my holiness. 26 They’ll forget their shame and all of their unfaithfulness by which they behaved so unfaithfully toward me. They will live on their land in confidence, not in fear. 27 When I bring them back from the nations and gather them together from the lands that belong to their enemies, I will demonstrate my holiness through them right in front of the eyes of the world,[b] 28 and they will learn that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into exile and who gathered them back to their land. I will not leave any of them remaining in exile. 29 I’ll no longer hide my presence from them again when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ declares the Lord God.”
