Context of Ezekiel 39:27

25“So this is what the Almighty Lord says: Now I will bring back Jacob’s captives and have compassion for the whole nation of Israel. I will stand up for my holy name. 26When they live safely in a land where no one will frighten them, they will forget their shame and all the unfaithful things they have done against me. I will bring them back from the other nations and gather them from the countries of their enemies. Many nations will see that I am holy. 28Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God. I sent them into captivity among the nations, and I brought them back again to their land. I left none of them behind. 29I will no longer hide my face from them, because I will pour out my Spirit on the nation of Israel, declares the Almighty Lord.”
