25 “So now, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will end the captivity of my people 1 ; I will have mercy on all Israel, for I jealously guard my holy reputation! 26 They will accept responsibility for 2 their past shame and unfaithfulness after they come home to live in peace in their own land, with no one to bother them. 27 When I bring them home from the lands of their enemies, I will display my holiness among them for all the nations to see. 28 Then my people will know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away to exile and brought them home again. I will leave none of my people behind. 29 And I will never again turn my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit upon the people of Israel. I, the Sovereign Lord , have spoken!”
