“The Israelites
Shall live
In safety
In the land.
They shall
Build houses.
They shall
Plant vineyards.
They shall live
In safety.
I will execute
Judgments
Upon all their neighbors
Who have treated them
With contempt.
Then they shall know
That I am Yahweh,
Their God.”
These Israelites would live in safety in their own land. They would build houses and plant vineyards. They would be safe, because Yahweh was going to execute his judgments on all their neighbors who have treated them contemptuously. They would all know that Yahweh was their God.
