Promise to Those Remaining

¹⁴ The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me, saying, ¹⁵ “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], the people still in Jerusalem have spoken about your ·own relatives^[a] [^Lbrothers, your kinsmen redeemers; Lev. 25:25–55] and all the ·people [^Lhouse] of Israel, saying, ‘They are far from the Lord. This land has been given to us as our ·property [possession].’

¹⁶ “So say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: I sent the people far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries. But ·for a little while [or in a small measure] I have become a ·Temple [sanctuary] to them in the countries where they have gone.’
