Context of Ezekiel 39:27
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. I 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.’
