Eze 39:23

Eze 39:23And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they dealt so treacherously with me that I hid my face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.

Eze 39:24I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid my face from them.

The Lord Will Restore Israel

Eze 39:27

Eze 39:27when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies’ lands, and through them have vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations.

Eze 39:28

Eze 39:28Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations and then assembled them into their own land. I will leave none of them remaining among the nations anymore.

Eze 39:29
