Context — The Restoration of Israel
23I will send a plague against her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
24For the people of Israel will no longer face a pricking brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’
25This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they have been scattered, I will show Myself holy among them in the sight of the nations. Then they will dwell in their own land, which I have given to My servant Jacob.
26And there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”Cross References

Ezekiel 28:25 Summary
[Ezekiel 28:25 is a promise from God that He will gather His people, the Israelites, from all the places they have been scattered and bring them back to their own land, just like He promised to Abraham in Genesis 12:7. This is a demonstration of God's power and holiness, as seen in Exodus 15:11, and it's a reminder that He is always faithful to His promises. When God restores His people, they will live in peace and security, free from the threats and dangers of the world, as described in Psalm 23:1-4.]

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 28:25
Thus saith the Lord God, when I shall have gathered the house of Israel,.... Not at the return of them from captivity in Babylon; for the ten tribes or house of Israel did not then return; though
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 28:25
Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:25
When seventy years is expired, which is the term of their captive state. I shall have gathered; moved the hearts of my people to come together upon Cyrus’ s proclamation, and from all parts of that vast kingdom, to prepare for a return to the country most of them never saw: it was God who moved Cyrus to give them leave; it was as much God’ s work to stir up the people to return. The house of Israel; the generality of them, those that were Israelites indeed. From the people; several nations subjects to the king of Babylon. Scattered, by the Babylonish king at first, and afterward by incident, necessity, or their own choice. Shall be sanctified; have vindicated my name, which by them was blasphemed. In the sight of the heathen: I was dishonoured by the Jews in the sight of the heathen, and I will be honoured by the Jews in their sight, they shall be witnesses of my vindication. Dwell; settle in peace, and for continuance. In their land; in a land that is theirs, their own, as it is often called. That I have given; their title is of me by deed of gift, not of late, but to one that was long since my servant; to Jacob, father to these returning captives.
The Hebrew repeats the preposition, to my servant, to Jacob, with an emphasis, to mind them of God’ s faithfulness.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:25
Ezekiel 28:25 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.Ver. 25. Then shall they dwell in their land.] Provided that they cleave close to me; otherwise I will out them again. It hath been elsewhere noted that the promises are with a condition; which is as an oar in a boat, or stern of a ship, and turns the promise another way.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:25
(25) Sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen.—The course of God’s providence is very distinctly marked out in these verses of promise. The judgment upon Judah had already come, in the fall of their holy city and the captivity of the people. This leads them to repentance, and thus God is “sanctified in the sight of the heathen;” His holiness and justice are exhibited to the world. Then comes the promise of the return, and the judgment of the ungodly enemies who have despised Judah (Ezekiel 28:26). This, too, shall be accomplished in its time, and then peace and prosperity shall return to Israel. The immediate point of this prophecy is the return of the Jews to their own land; yet, as the struggle between them and their enemies has been a struggle between the Church of God and the powers of the world, and as this particular struggle thus in some sort symbolises the greater contest between religion and the world in all ages, so this promise of rest looks forward in some sense to the final victory over all evil.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:25
Verse 25. When I shall have gathered the house of Israel] In their long captivity, God had been preparing the land for them so as to make it a safe dwelling; and hence he executed judgments on all the heathen nations round about by means of the Chaldeans. Thus Tyre and Sidon were destroyed, as were the Ammonites and others who had been the inveterate enemies of the Jews. Judgment first began at his own house, then proceeded to the heathen nations; and when they were brought down, then he visited and redeemed his people. Thus God's ways are proved to be all equal; partialities and caprices belong not to him.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 28:25
25. Read peoples for people. sanctified in them] i.e. through them, in their restoration. Jehovah is sanctified through the chastisement of the nations who distress His people, and He is sanctified through His people’s restoration. On “sanctify” cf. Ezekiel 28:22. my servant Jacob] Cf. ch. Ezekiel 37:25; the phrase already in Jeremiah 30:10, and frequently in Isaiah 40-66.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 28:25
The contrast of the future of Israel with that of the surrounding nations. This prophecy reaches far beyond a mere temporal restoration.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:25
25. People — Literally, peoples. Shall be sanctified — Literally, have shown myself holy. (See also Ezekiel 28:22.) My servant Jacob — Used for Israel (Ezekiel 20:5; Ezekiel 28:25; Ezekiel 37:25).
