After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
After they've carried the weight of their shame and all the ways they betrayed me, they'll finally live safely in their own land with no one to fear.
Even after we mess up badly, God's plan includes a place where we can finally breathe easy.
