| 26They will bear their shame for all their unfaithful acts against me, when they live securely on their land with no one to make them afraid. | 26After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. |
| 27When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will magnify myself among them in the sight of many nations. | 27When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; |
| 28Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land. I will not leave any of them in exile any longer. | 28Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. |
| 29I will no longer hide my face from them, when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the sovereign LORD." | 29Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. |
