Ezekiel 28:24-26

Expanded Bible

God Will Help Israel

²⁴ “‘No more will neighboring nations be like ·thorny branches [prickling briars] or sharp ·stickers [thorns] to ·hurt [^Ltreat with contempt/scorn the house of] Israel. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.

²⁵ “‘This is what the Lord God says: I will gather the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel from the nations where they are scattered. I will show my holiness ·when the nations see what I do for my people [^Lin them in the sight of the nations]. Then they will live in their own land—the land I gave to my servant Jacob. ²⁶ They will live safely in the land and will build houses and plant vineyards. They will live in safety after I have ·punished [executed judgments against] all the nations around who ·hate them [treat them with contempt; scorn them]. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.’”
