“Says Yahweh.
‘Therefore the days are surely coming,
When it shall no longer be said.
‘As Yahweh lives!
He brought the people of Israel
Up out of the land of Egypt.’
But they will say.
‘As Yahweh lives!
He brought the people of Israel
Up out of the north area,
Out of all the lands
Where he had driven them.’
I will bring them back
To their own land
That I gave to their ancestors.”
Instead of people talking about the Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land as they had, now they will talk about returning to the Promised Land after the Exile. Thus this passage assumes that the Exile will happen and come to an end. It is the living God, Yahweh, who brought them out of Egypt, so too, he will bring them back from the northern area and the other countries where they would have been driven into. They will once again have the Promised Land of their ancestors. In other words, there will be new Exodus.
