Connecting Statement:
Yahweh continues to give Ezekiel a message about what will happen to Israel.
will restore the fortunes of Jacob
Translate "will restore the fortunes" as in Ezekiel 16:53. However, some modern versions interpret the Hebrew expression here as "will bring Jacob back from captivity."
the house of Israel
The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house, in this case the Israelites, the descendants of Jacob over many years. See how you translated this in Ezekiel 3:1. Alternate translation: "the Israelites" or "the Israelite people group" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
act with zeal for my holy name
"make sure that they honor me"
