The verse centers on "dwelt", "land", "gave", "servant", "jacob", and "fathers". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "dwelt" and "land", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 24's "And My servant David FI is Fi..." into verse 26's "And I have made to them a...", so "dwelt" and "land" belong inside that flow. In Ezekiel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "dwelt" and "land" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
