Israel’s Return

14 For the Lord will have compassion^(A) on Jacob and will choose Israel again.^(B) He will settle them on their own land.^(C) The resident alien will join them and be united with the house of Jacob.^{(D) 2} The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves in the Lord’s land.^(E) They will make captives of their captors and will rule over their oppressors.

¹⁵ People who are far off will come and build the Lord’s temple, and you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen when you fully obey the Lord your God.”^(A)
