Ezekiel 36:29-38

29Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I 1will not 2bring a famine on you. 30Instead, I will 3multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you will not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations. 31Then you will 4remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your wrongdoings and your abominations. 32I am not doing this 5for your sake,” declares the Lord God; “let that be known to you. Be ashamed and humiliated for your ways, house of Israel!”

33‘This is what the Lord God says: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your wrongdoings, I will populate the 6cities, and the 7places of ruins will be rebuilt. 34The desolated land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by. 35And they will say, ‘This desolated land has become like the 8Garden of Eden; and the waste, desolated and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’ 36Then the nations around you that are left will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolated; I, the Lord, have spoken, and I 9will do it.”

37‘This is what the Lord God says: “This too I will let the house of Israel ask Me to do for them: I will increase their people like a flock. 38Like the 10flock 11for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with 12flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’”
