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.’”

This verse, Ezekiel 28:26, means that God will keep His people safe and sound, and they will be able to live normal lives, building homes and growing crops, without fear of harm.

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 28:26
And they shall dwell safely therein,.... There being none to make them afraid, all their enemies being destroyed, and they also under the protection of Christian princes: and they shall build houses
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 28:26
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 28:26
Safely; which is to be understood comparatively, safer than before; it must be accommodated to the circumstances of human condition; in such safety as excludes continual inward cares, and fears, and perplexities, as it is said of Laish, ; or as in the days of Solomon, ; or as ,19. When I have executed judgments: that seems to intimate, that there might be some attempts, as by Sanballat and Tobias, but God blasted these; or it may refer more properly to the destruction of Babylon, and the nations confederate with them, who ruined and despised the Jews. And they, the returned captives, shall own, and know by experience, that I sin not only the Lord, but their God too.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 28:26
Ezekiel 28:26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God.Ver. 26. And they shall dwell safely therein.] Or, In confidence. And this is reiterated here to show what a mercy of God it is to live secure, and free from the fear of enemies.
