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.

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.”
