Ezekiel 39:21-29

21I will show my glory to all the nations. They will see that I can punish people. And they will know that I decide how and when to punish them.

22From that time and for all the time after that, Israel's people will know that I am the Lord their God.

23And the nations will know that I sent Israel's people away from their country. They will know that I punished my people because of their sin. They had not been faithful to me so I turned away from them. I let their enemies take them and kill them with swords.

24I punished them because they had not kept themselves clean from sin. I hid myself from them because they had done so many evil things.’

25So this is what the Lord God says. ‘Now I will bring back Jacob (Israel) from the countries where his people are prisoners. I will be kind to all Israel's people. And I will make them see that I am holy.

26They will forget that they were ashamed. They will forget that they failed to keep their promises to me. That was when they lived in a safe country. In that country, nobody made them afraid.

27I will bring them back from the lands where their enemies took them. The nations will see what I have done. So all the nations will know that I am holy.

28Then Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. I sent my people away to far countries. But I will bring them all back to their own country. I will not leave any behind.

29No longer will I turn away from them. I will pour my Spirit over Israel's people, says the Lord God.’
