Context of Ezekiel 39:24
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. I 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.
