Ezekiel 36:8-38

8But as for you, mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, you will 12growH5414 your branchesH6057 and bearH5375 fruitH6529 for My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; for they areH7126 aboutH7126 to comeH935. 9For, beholdH2009, I am for you, and I will 3turnH6437 to you, and you will be 4cultivatedH5647 and sownH2232. 10And I will multiplyH7235 peopleH120 on you, 5allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, allH3605 of it; and the 6citiesH5892 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 7previouslyH6927, and treatH3190 you 8betterH3190 thanH4480 at the beginningH7221. Then you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068. 12Yes, I will have 9peopleH120--My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478--walkH1980 on you and possessH3423 you, so that you will becomeH1961 their 10inheritanceH5159 and neverH3808H5750 againH3254 11bereaveH7921 them ofH7921 childrenH7921.’

13“The LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: ‘SinceH3282 they sayH559 to you, “You are a 12devourerH398 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 13insultsH3639 from the nationsH1471 anymoreH5750, norH3808 will you sufferH5375 14disgraceH2781 from the peoplesH5971 anyH5750 longerH5750, norH3808 will you make your nationH1471 15stumbleH3782 anyH5750 longerH5750,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.’”

16Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 17“SonH1121 of manH120, when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was livingH3427 on their own landH127, they 16defiledH2930 it by their waysH1870 and their deedsH5949; their wayH1870 beforeH6440 Me was like 17the uncleannessH2932 of a woman in her impurityH5079. 18Therefore I 18pouredH8210 outH8210 My wrathH2534 on them for the bloodH1818 whichH834 they had shedH8210 on the landH776, because they had defiledH2930 it with their idolsH1544. 19I also 19scatteredH6327 them among the nationsH1471, and they were dispersedH2219 throughout the landsH776. 20According to their waysH1870 and their deedsH5949 I judgedH8199 them. 20When they cameH935 to the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 they wentH935, they 21profanedH2490 My holyH6944 nameH8034, because it was saidH559 of them, ‘TheseH428 are the 22peopleH5971 of the LordH3068, yet they have leftH3318 His landH776.’ 21But I hadH2550 23concernH2550 for My 24holyH6944 nameH8034, whichH834 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 they wentH935.

22“ThereforeH3651 sayH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “It is 25not for your sakeH4616, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that I am about to actH6213, but for My holyH6944 nameH8034, whichH834 you have profanedH2490 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 you wentH935. 23And I will 26vindicateH6942 the holinessH6942 of My greatH1419 nameH8034 which has been profanedH2490 among the nationsH1471, whichH834 you have profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. Then the 27nationsH1471 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “when I showH6942 Myself holyH6942 among you in their sightH5869. 24For I will 28takeH3947 you from the nationsH1471, and gatherH6908 you from allH3605 the landsH776; and I will bringH935 you into your own landH127. 25Then I will 29sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 on you, and you will beH2891 cleanH2891; I will cleanseH2891 you from allH3605 your 30filthinessH2932 and from allH3605 your 31idolsH1544. 26Moreover, I will giveH5414 you a 32newH2319 heartH3820 and putH5414 a newH2319 spiritH7307 withinH7130 you; and I will removeH5493 the 33heartH3820 of stoneH68 from your fleshH1320 and giveH5414 you a heartH3820 of fleshH1320. 27And I will 34putH5414 My SpiritH7307 withinH7130 you and bringH6213 it aboutH6213 that you walkH1980 in My statutesH2706, and areH8104 carefulH8104 and 35followH6213 My ordinancesH4941. 28And you will liveH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your forefathersH1; so you will be 36My peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430. 29Moreover, I will saveH3467 you from allH3605 your uncleannessH2932; and I will callH7121 for the grainH1715 and multiplyH7235 it, and I 37will not 38bringH5414 a famineH7458 on you. 30Instead, I will 39multiplyH7235 the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086 and the produceH8570 of the fieldH7704, soH4616 thatH4616 you will not receiveH3947 againH5750 the disgraceH2781 of famineH7458 among the nationsH1471. 31Then you will 40rememberH2142 your evilH7451 waysH1870 and your deedsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and you will loatheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your wrongdoingsH5771 and your abominationsH8441. 32I am not doingH6213 this 41for your sakeH4616,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068; “let that be knownH3045 to you. BeH954 ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637 for your waysH1870, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478!”

33‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “On the dayH3117 that I cleanseH2891 you from allH3605 your wrongdoingsH5771, I will populateH3427 the 42citiesH5892, and the 43placesH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723 will be rebuiltH1129. 34The desolatedH8074 landH776 will be cultivatedH5647 insteadH8478 ofH8478 beingH1961 a desolationH8077 in the sightH5869 of everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 byH5674. 35And they will sayH559, ‘ThisH1976 desolatedH8074 landH776 has becomeH1961 like the 44GardenH1588 of EdenH5731; and the wasteH2720, desolatedH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are fortifiedH1219 and inhabitedH3427.’ 36Then the nationsH1471 aroundH5439 you that are leftH7604 will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, have rebuiltH1129 the ruinedH2040 places and plantedH5193 that which was desolatedH8074; I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696, and I 45will doH6213 it.”

37‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “ThisH2088 tooH5750 I will let the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 askH1875 Me to doH6213 for them: I will increaseH7235 their peopleH120 like a flockH6629. 38Like the 46flockH6629 47for sacrificesH6944, like the flockH6629 at JerusalemH3389 during her appointedH4150 feastsH4150, soH3651 will the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 be filledH4392 with 48flocksH6629 of peopleH120. Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”’”
