Read in context

Ezekiel 39:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them.

22 From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.

23 And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.

24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.

25 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Now I will restore Jacob from captivity and will have compassion on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name.
