1 Al­so, thou son of man, proph­esy unto the moun­tains of Is­rael, and say, Ye moun­tains of Is­rael, hear the word of the LORD: 2 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­cause the en­e­my hath said against you, Aha, even the an­cient high places are ours in pos­ses­sion: 3 There­fore proph­esy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­cause they have made you des­o­late, and swal­lowed you up on ev­ery side, that ye might be a pos­ses­sion unto the residue of the hea­then, and ye are tak­en up in the lips of talk­ers, and are an in­famy of the peo­ple: 4 There­fore, ye moun­tains of Is­rael, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the moun­tains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the val­leys, to the des­o­late wastes, and to the cities that are for­sak­en, which be­came a prey and de­ri­sion to the residue of the hea­then that are round about; 5 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; Sure­ly in the fire of my jeal­ousy have I spo­ken against the residue of the hea­then, and against all Idumea, which have ap­point­ed my land into their pos­ses­sion with the joy of all their heart, with de­spite­ful minds, to cast it out for a prey. 6 Proph­esy there­fore con­cern­ing the land of Is­rael, and say unto the moun­tains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the val­leys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­hold, I have spo­ken in my jeal­ousy and in my fury, be­cause ye have borne the shame of the hea­then: 7 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lift­ed up mine hand, Sure­ly the hea­then that are about you, they shall bear their shame. 8 But ye, O moun­tains of Is­rael, ye shall shoot forth your branch­es, and yield your fruit to my peo­ple of Is­rael; for they are at hand to come. 9 For, be­hold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: 10 And I will mul­ti­ply men upon you, all the house of Is­rael, even all of it: and the cities shall be in­hab­it­ed, and the wastes shall be build­ed: 11 And I will mul­ti­ply upon you man and beast; and they shall in­crease and bring fruit: and I will set­tle you af­ter your old es­tates, and will do bet­ter un­to you than at your be­gin­nings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my peo­ple Is­rael; and they shall pos­sess thee, and thou shalt be their in­her­i­tance, and thou shalt no more hence­forth be­reave them of men. 13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­cause they say unto you, Thou land de­vourest up men, and hast be­reaved thy na­tions; 14 There­fore thou shalt de­vour men no more, nei­ther be­reave thy na­tions any more, saith the Lord GOD. 15 Nei­ther will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the hea­then any more, nei­ther shalt thou bear the re­proach of the peo­ple any more, nei­ther shalt thou cause thy na­tions to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD. 16 More­over the word of the LORD came unto me, say­ing, 17 Son of man, when the house of Is­rael dwelt in their own land, they de­filed it by their own way and by their do­ings: their way was be­fore me as the un­clean­ness of a re­moved wom­an. 18 Where­fore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had pol­lut­ed it: 19 And I scat­tered them among the hea­then, and they were dis­persed through the coun­tries: ac­cord­ing to their way and ac­cord­ing to their do­ings I judged them. 20 And when they en­tered unto the hea­then, whith­er they went, they pro­faned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the peo­ple of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. 21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Is­rael had pro­faned among the hea­then, whith­er they went. 22 There­fore say unto the house of Is­rael, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Is­rael, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have pro­faned among the hea­then, whith­er ye went. 23 And I will sanc­ti­fy my great name, which was pro­faned among the hea­then, which ye have pro­faned in the midst of them; and the hea­then shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanc­ti­fied in you be­fore their eyes. 24 For I will take you from among the hea­then, and gath­er you out of all coun­tries, and will bring you into your own land. 25 Then will I sprin­kle clean wa­ter upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filth­i­ness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spir­it will I put with­in you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spir­it with­in you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judg­ments, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fa­thers; and ye shall be my peo­ple, and I will be your God. 29 I will also save you from all your un­clean­ness­es: and I will call for the corn, and will in­crease it, and lay no famine upon you. 30 And I will mul­ti­ply the fruit of the tree, and the in­crease of the field, that ye shall re­ceive no more re­proach of famine among the hea­then. 31 Then shall ye re­mem­ber your own evil ways, and your do­ings that were not good, and shall lothe your­selves in your own sight for your in­iq­ui­ties and for your abom­i­na­tions. 32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and con­found­ed for your own ways, O house of Is­rael. 33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your in­iq­ui­ties I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be build­ed. 34 And the des­o­late land shall be tilled, where­as it lay des­o­late in the sight of all that passed by. 35 And they shall say, This land that was des­o­late is be­come like the gar­den of Eden; and the waste and des­o­late and ru­ined cities are become fenced, and are in­hab­it­ed. 36 Then the hea­then that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ru­ined ­places, and plant that that was des­o­late: I the LORD have spo­ken it, and I will do it. 37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be en­quired of by the house of Is­rael, to do it for them; I will in­crease them with men like a flock. 38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
