Bible: Ezek. 11:15-17

11:15 Son of man, your brothers, 1  your relatives, 2  and the whole house of Israel, all of them are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem 3  have said, ‘They have gone 4  far away from the Lord; to us this land has been given as a possession.’

11:16Therefore say: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Although I have removed them far away among the nations and have dispersed them among the countries, I have been a little 5  sanctuary for them among the lands where they have gone.’

11:17Therefore say: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: When I regather you from the peoples and assemble you from the lands where you have been dispersed, I will give you back the country of Israel.’
