Ezekiel 39:23-25

New Century Version

²³ The nations will know Israel was taken away captive because they turned against me. So I turned away from them and handed them over to their enemies until all of them died in war. ²⁴ Because of their uncleanness and their sins, I punished them and turned away from them.

²⁵ “So this is what the Lord God says: Now I will bring the people of Jacob back from captivity, and I will have mercy on the whole nation of Israel. I will not let them dishonor me.
