They forced out the people and took their land.’ 6“So prophesy about Israel. Tell the mountains and hills and the ravines and valleys, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: I am speaking in my anger and fury because you have been insulted by the nations. So this is what the Almighty Lord says: I raise my hand and swear that the nations which surround you will be insulted. 8“ ‘But you, mountains of Israel, will grow branches and bear fruit for my people Israel. My people will come home soon. 9I am for you. I will turn to you, and you will be plowed and planted.
