And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
This is what the Lord GOD says: Because the enemy said of you, "Aha! The ancient heights have become ours to possess,"
therefore prophesy and say: This is what the Lord GOD says: Because they made you desolate and swallowed you up from every side, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and because you were made the object of gossip and slander among the people,
therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys, to the desolate ruins and the abandoned cities that have become plunder and mockery to the rest of the nations all around.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Surely in the fire of my zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations and against all of Edom, who with wholehearted joy and utter contempt claimed my land as their own possession, to plunder its pastureland.
Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: This is what the Lord GOD says: See, I have spoken in my zeal and my wrath, because you have borne the insults of the nations.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I have raised my hand and sworn that the nations around you shall themselves bear their own disgrace.
But you, mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and yield your fruit for my people Israel, for they are soon to come home.
For I am for you; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown.
I will multiply people upon you, the whole house of Israel, all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
I will multiply people and animals upon you; they will increase and be fruitful. I will settle you as you were before and will do you more good than at the beginning. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
I will cause people to walk upon you—my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance; never again will you rob them of their children.
This is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, "You devour human beings and rob your own nation of its children,"
therefore you will devour people no more and never again bereave your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.
I will not let you hear the insults of the nations any longer; you will no longer bear the scorn of the peoples, and you will never again cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.
The word of the LORD came to me:
Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds. Their conduct before me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
So I poured out my wrath on them because of the blood they had shed on the land and because they had defiled it with their idols.
I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the lands. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.
But when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, "These are the LORD's people, yet they had to leave his land."
So I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they had gone.
Therefore say to the house of Israel: This is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I am about to act, house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone.
I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes.
I will take you from the nations and gather you out of all the lands, and I will bring you into your own land.
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and to keep my ordinances and do them.
You will live in the land I gave your fathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and make it plentiful, and I will not bring famine upon you.
I will make the fruit of the trees and the produce of the field abundant, so that you will never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.
Then you will remember your evil ways and your wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and your abominations.
It is not for your sake that I am acting, declares the Lord GOD—know this well. Be ashamed and humiliated because of your ways, house of Israel.
This is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle the cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
The desolate land will be cultivated again, in place of the wasteland it once was before the eyes of all who passed by.
They will say, "This land that lay desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the cities that were ruined, wasted, and torn down are now fortified and inhabited."
Then the nations that remain around you will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt what was torn down and replanted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it.
This is what the Lord GOD says: Once again I will let myself be sought by the house of Israel, and this I will do for them: I will multiply them like a flock — a flock of people.
Like the flocks set apart for sacrifice, like the flocks in Jerusalem at her appointed feasts, so the ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
