30:3 the
Lord your God will reverse your captivity and have pity on you. He will turn and gather you from all the peoples among whom he
has scattered you.
30:4 Even if your exiles are in the most distant land,
from there the
Lord your God will gather you and bring you back.
30:5 Then he
will bring you to the land your ancestors
possessed and you also will possess it; he will do better for you and multiply you more than he did your ancestors.

and will restore them to this land. There I will build them up and will not tear them down. I will plant them firmly in the land
and will not uproot them.
24:7 I will give them the desire to acknowledge that I
am the
Lord. I will be their God and they will be my people. For they will wholeheartedly
return to me.’

Jeremiah 30:18-22
The Lord Will Restore Israel and Judah
30:18 The Lord says,
“I will restore the ruined houses of the descendants of Jacob.
I will show compassion on their ruined homes.
Every city will be rebuilt on its former ruins.
Every fortified dwelling will occupy its traditional site.
30:19 Out of those places you will hear songs of thanksgiving
and the sounds of laughter and merriment.
I will increase their number and they will not dwindle away.
I will bring them honor and they will no longer be despised.
30:20 The descendants of Jacob will enjoy their former privileges.
Their community will be reestablished in my favor
and I will punish all who try to oppress them.
30:21 One of their own people will be their leader.
Their ruler will come from their own number.
I will invite him to approach me, and he will do so.
For no one would dare approach me on his own.
I, the Lord, affirm it!
30:22 Then you will again be my people
and I will be your God.
Jeremiah 31:8-12
31:8 Then I will reply, ‘I will bring them back from the land of the north.
I will gather them in from the distant parts of the earth.
Blind and lame people will come with them,
so will pregnant women and women about to give birth.
A vast throng of people will come back here.
31:9 They will come back shedding tears of contrition.
I will bring them back praying prayers of repentance.
I will lead them besides streams of water,
along smooth paths where they will never stumble.
I will do this because I am Israel’s father;
Ephraim is my firstborn son.’”
31:10 Hear what the Lord has to say, O nations.
Proclaim it in the faraway lands along the sea.
Say, “The one who scattered Israel will regather them.
He will watch over his people like a shepherd watches over his flock.”
31:11 For the Lord will rescue the descendants of Jacob.
He will secure their release from those who had overpowered them.
31:12 They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion.
They will be radiant with joy over the good things the Lord provides,
the grain, the fresh wine, the olive oil,
the young sheep and calves he has given to them.
They will be like a well-watered garden
and will not grow faint or weary any more.

32:37 ‘I will certainly regather my people from all the countries where I will have exiled
them in my anger, fury, and great wrath. I will bring them back to this place and allow them to live here in safety.
32:38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
32:39 I will give them a single-minded purpose to live in a way that always shows respect for me. They will want to do that for
their own good and the good of the children who descend from them.
32:40 I will make a lasting covenant
with them that I will never stop doing good to them.
I will fill their hearts and minds with respect for me so that
they will never again turn
away from me.
32:41 I will take delight in doing good to them. I will faithfully and wholeheartedly plant them
firmly in the land.’

36:26 I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your body and give you a heart of flesh.
36:27 I will put my Spirit within you; I will take the initiative and you will obey my statutes and carefully observe my regulations.
36:28 Then you will live in the land I gave to your fathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 39:25-29

39:26 They will bear their shame for all their unfaithful acts against me, when they live securely on their land with no one to make them afraid.
39:27 When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will magnify myself among them in the sight of many nations.
39:28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land. I will not leave any of them in exile any longer.
39:29 I will no longer hide my face from them, when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the sovereign Lord.”
