Ezekiel 36:33-38

33‘This is what the Lord God says: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your wrongdoings, I will populate the 1cities, and the 2places 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 3Garden 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 4will 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 5flock 6for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with 7flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’”
