Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle them there permanently. They will live in their own land and never have to move again. Evil people will no longer harm or destroy them like they did in the past.
God is promising to give His people Israel a permanent, safe home where they will be protected from their enemies forever.
