ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 to the mountainsH2022 and to the hillsH1389, to the ravinesH650 and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8074 ruinsH2723 and to the abandonedH5800 citiesH5892 whichH834 have becomeH1961 9plunderH957 and an objectH3933 ofH3933 ridiculeH3933 to the restH7611 of the nationsH1471 whichH834 are allH5439 aroundH5439-- 5thereforeH3651 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “CertainlyH518H3808 in the fireH784 of My 10jealousyH7068 I have spokenH1696 againstH5921 the 11restH7611 of the nationsH1471, and againstH5921 allH3605 EdomH112, whoH834 12appropriatedH5414 My landH776 for themselves as a possessionH4181 with wholeheartedH3605H3824 13joyH8057 and with contemptH7589 of soulH5315, inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 make its pasturelandH4054 plunderH957.” 6ThereforeH3651 prophesyH5012 in regardH5921 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to the mountainsH2022 and to the hillsH1389, to the ravinesH650 and to the valleysH1516, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BeholdH2009, I have spokenH1696 in My jealousyH7068 and in My wrathH2534 becauseH3282 you have 14enduredH5375 the insultsH3639 of the nationsH1471.’ 7ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: ‘I have 15swornH5375H3027 that the nationsH1471 that are aroundH5439 you will certainlyH518H3808 endureH5375 their insultsH3639 themselvesH1992. 8But as for you, mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, you will 1617growH5414 your branchesH6057 and bearH5375 fruitH6529 for My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; for they areH7126 aboutH7126 to comeH935. 9For, beholdH2009, I am for you, and I will 18turnH6437 to you, and you will be 19cultivatedH5647 and sownH2232. 10And I will multiplyH7235 peopleH120 on you, 20allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, allH3605 of it; and the 21citiesH5892 will be inhabitedH3427 and the ruinsH2723 will be rebuiltH1129. 11I will multiplyH7235 on you peopleH120 and animalsH929, and they will increaseH7235 and beH6509 fruitfulH6509; and I will populateH3427 you as you were 22previouslyH6927, and treatH3190 you 23betterH3190 thanH4480 at the beginningH7221. Then you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068. 12Yes, I will have 24peopleH120--My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478--walkH1980 on you and possessH3423 you, so that you will becomeH1961 their 25inheritanceH5159 and neverH3808H5750 againH3254 26bereaveH7921 them ofH7921 childrenH7921.’

13“The LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: ‘SinceH3282 they sayH559 to you, “You are a 27devourerH398 of peopleH120 and have bereavedH7921 your nationH1471 ofH7921 childrenH7921,” 14for thatH3651 reasonH3651 you will noH3808 longerH5750 devourH398 peopleH120 and noH3808 longerH5750 bereaveH7921 your nationH1471 ofH7921 childrenH7921,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 15I will not let you hearH8085 28insultsH3639 from the nationsH1471 anymoreH5750, norH3808 will you sufferH5375 29disgraceH2781 from the peoplesH5971 anyH5750 longerH5750, norH3808 will you make your nationH1471 30stumbleH3782 anyH5750 longerH5750,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.’”
