Ezekiel 36:3-7
3therefore prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “1For good reason they have made you 2desolate and harassed you from every side, so that you would become a possession of the rest of the nations; and you have been taken up in the 34talk and the rumor of the people.”’”
4Therefore, you 5mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins and to the abandoned cities which have become 6plunder and an object of ridicule to the rest of the nations which are all around--
5therefore the Lord God says this: “Certainly in the fire of My 7jealousy I have spoken against the 8rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who 9appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted 10joy and with contempt of soul, in order to make its pastureland plunder.”
6Therefore prophesy in regard to the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, “This is what the Lord God says: ‘Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath because you have 11endured the insults of the nations.’
7Therefore the Lord God says this: ‘I have 12sworn that the nations that are around you will certainly endure their insults themselves.
