“They shall forget
Their shame.
They shall forget
All the treachery
That they have practiced
Against me.
They shall live securely
In their land
With no one
To make them afraid.
I have brought
Them back
From the various people.
I have gathered them
From their enemies’ lands.
I have vindicated
My holiness
Through them
In the sight
Of many nations.”
The Israelites were to forget their shame when they returned to Israel. They would forget their former treachery against Yahweh. They would live securely in their land, since there was no one to make them afraid. Yahweh would have brought them back from the various countries that they were in. He was going to gather them from the lands of their enemies. Yahweh would vindicate his holiness through them in the sight of many nations.
