Ezekiel 36:1-15

1And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 unto the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559, Ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.

2ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: BecauseH5921 the enemyH341 hath saidH559 againstH5921 youH5921, AhaH1889! and, The ancientH5769 highH1116 placesH1116 are ours in possessionH4181:

3therefore prophesyH5012, and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: BecauseH5921, evenH3651 becauseH5921 they have madeH8074 youH5921 desolateH8074, and swallowed youH5921 upH5927 on everyH5439 sideH5439, that ye might be a possessionH4181 unto the residue of the nationsH1471, and ye are takenH5927 upH5927 in the lipsH8193 of talkers, and the evilH1681 reportH1681 of the peopleH5971:

4therefore, ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH136; ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136 to the mountainsH2022 and to the hillsH1389, to the watercourses and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8076 wastesH2723 and to the citiesH5892 that are forsaken, whichH834 are becomeH1961 a preyH957 and derisionH3933 to the residue of the nationsH1471 that are roundH5439 aboutH1961:

5therefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: SurelyH518 in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 againstH5921 the residue of the nationsH1471, and againstH5921 allH3605 EdomH123, whichH834 have appointedH5414 my landH776 unto themselvesH5315 for a possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of allH3605 their heartH3824, with despiteH5921 of soulH5315, to castH5414 it outH5921 for a preyH957:

6Therefore prophesyH5012 concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto the mountainsH2022 and to the hillsH1389, to the watercourses and to the valleysH1516, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: BeholdH2005, I have spokenH1696 in my jealousyH7068 and in my furyH2534, becauseH5921 ye have borneH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathen:

7therefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: I have liftedH5375 upH5375 mine handH3027, sayingH559, SurelyH518 the heathen that are roundH5439 aboutH5439 youH834, they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639.

8But ye, O mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, ye shall shoot forthH5414 your branchesH6057, and yieldH5414 your fruitH6529 to my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; for they are at handH5414 to comeH935.

9For, beholdH2005, I am for youH3588, and I will turnH6437 unto youH3588, and ye shall be tilled and sownH2232:

10and I will multiplyH7235 menH120 uponH5921 youH3605, allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, evenH5921 allH3605 of it: and the citiesH5892 shall be inhabitedH3427, and the wasteH2723 placesH2723 shall be builded:

11and I will multiplyH7235 uponH5921 youH3588 manH120 and beastH929; and they shall increaseH7235, and be fruitfulH6509: and I will cause youH3588 to be inhabitedH3427 afterH5921 your formerH6927 estate, and will doH589 betterH5921 unto youH3588 thanH5921 at your beginnings: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.

12Yea, I will causeH1961 menH120 to walk uponH5921 youH5921, evenH5750 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and they shall possessH3423 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritanceH5159, and thou shalt noH3808 moreH5750 henceforth bereaveH7921 them of childrenH7921.

13ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: BecauseH3282 they sayH559 unto youH859, Thou land art a devourerH398 of menH120, and hast been a bereaver of thy nationH1471;

14therefore thou shalt devourH398 menH120 noH3808 moreH5750, neitherH3808 bereaveH3782 thy nationH1471 anyH5750 moreH5750, saith the LordH136 GODH136;

15neitherH3808 will I letH3808 thee hearH8085 anyH5750 moreH5750 the shameH2781 of the heathen, neitherH3808 shalt thou bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of the peoplesH5971 anyH5750 moreH5750, neitherH3808 shalt thou cause thy nationH1471 to stumbleH3782 anyH5750 moreH5750, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
