Quick answer

God will gather His scattered people back from exile and settle them safely in the land. It promises a sure regathering after the dispersion.

Overview

Though He drove them out in wrath, God pledges to bring His people home and let them dwell in security. The promise reverses the judgment with a greater act of grace. This regathering of the exiled foreshadows the gospel ingathering of God's people from all nations into the safety of His care through Christ, the good Shepherd (John 10:16).
