24. No longer will Israel’s scornful neighborsprick and tear at her like briers and thorns.For then they will knowthat I am the Sovereign lord.
25. “This is what the Sovereign lord says: The people of Israel will again live in their own land, the land I gave my servant Jacob. For I will gather them from the distant lands where I have scattered them. I will reveal to the nations of the world my holiness among my people.
26. They will live safely in Israel and build homes and plant vineyards. And when I punish the neighboring nations that treated them with contempt, they will know that I am the lord their God.”
