Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, saying, Hear the word of the Lord, O mountains of Israel.

Thus says the Lord GOD, Because the enemy says, Aha. This permanent hill has become our business.

Therefore prophesy and say, This is what the Lord GOD says: Because the enemy has made you desolate, devouring you all around, so that you may belong to the rest of the Gentiles as an inheritance. Moreover, talkative people will mention you, and the people will say that you have a bad reputation.

Therefore, the mountains of Israel shall hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. Great mountains and small hills, ditches and valleys, abandoned lands, abandoned cities, occupied by the rest of the foreigners around them, mocked by them,

This is what the Lord Jehovah says to you: Truly, I am filled with indignation and hatred, rebuking the other Gentiles and all the people of Edom. They are filled with joy and hatred in their hearts, giving my land to themselves as an inheritance and seeing it as abandoned plunder.

Therefore prophesy by the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, hills, and valleys, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am filled with indignation and anger, saying, Because you have been reproached by the nations,

So I swear that all the nations around you will bear your shame. This is what the Lord Jehovah has said.

O mountains of Israel, you will sprout branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, because they are about to come.

See, I am your helper and will also turn my heart to you, so that you can cultivate.

I will increase the number of the entire family of Israel above you, and the cities will be inhabited, and the wastelands will be built again.

I will increase the number of people and livestock above you. They will give birth to many. I will make you inhabited as before, and bless you more than before, and you will know that I am the Lord.

I will make people, my people Israel, walk above you. They will have you as their profession. You will no longer cause them to lose their children.

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because people say to you,’ You are a devourer and have caused the nation to lose its children. ‘.

Therefore the Lord GOD says, You will no longer devour people, nor will you cause the nation to lose its children.

I will make you no longer hear the shame of nations, no longer receive the reproach of nations, and no longer cause the nations to stumble. This is what the Lord Jehovah has said.

The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

Son of man. When the Israelites lived in their own land, they defiled it in their actions and deeds. Their behavior before me is as filthy as a woman in her menstrual cycle.

So I poured out my anger on them because they shed human blood on that land, and because they defiled the land with idols.

I will scatter them among the nations, scatter them among the nations, and punish them according to their actions.

When they went to the nations they went to, they desecrated my holy name. Because when people talk about them, they say, These are the people of the Lord, who have come out of the land of the Lord.

But I have pity on my holy name, which the house of Israel has profaned among the nations they have come to.

Therefore, say to the house of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: O house of Israel, I have not done this for you, but for my holy name, which I have blasphemed among the nations where you have come.

I will make my name holy. This name has been blasphemed among the nations, which you have blasphemed among them. When I am holy in your sight, they will know that I am the Lord. This is what the Lord Jehovah has said.

I will collect you from all nations, gather you from all nations, and guide you back to your own land.

I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your uncleanness and discard all your idols.

I will also give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you, and remove the stone heart from your flesh, and give you a flesh heart.

I will put my spirit within you, so that you will follow my laws and keep and do my judgments.

You will dwell in the land that I have given to your ancestors. You shall be my people, and I shall be your God.

I will save you from all your filth, and I will command a bountiful harvest, so that you will not suffer famine.

I will make the trees bear more fruit and the fields yield more, so that you will no longer be mocked by the foreigners for famine.

At that time, you will remember your evil deeds and your evil deeds, and despise yourself for your sins and detestable things.

And the Lord GOD said, Know that I have not done this for you. O house of Israel, be ashamed and ashamed of your actions.

This is what the Lord GOD says: On the day when I cleanse you from all your sins, I will make the cities inhabited and the wastelands rebuilt.

Although passersby consider it a wasteland, it still needs to be cultivated today.

They will say, This land, which was previously abandoned, has now become like the Garden of Eden. This desolate and desolate city is now fortified and inhabited by people.

At that time, the rest of the Gentiles around you will know that I, the Lord, have built the ruins and cultivated the wasteland. I, the Lord, have said and will do it.

Thus says the Lord GOD, I will increase the number of the house of Israel like a flock. They will ask me for this matter, and I will do it for them.

Just as Jerusalem offers many flocks of sheep as sacrifices during festivals, so the desolate cities will be filled with crowds. They will know that I am the Lord.
