“
And you
, son of man, prophesy to
the mountains of Israel and say :
O
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the
LORD
.
And thou
, son of man, prophesy unto
the mountains of Israel ,
and say ,
Ye
mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah
.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Because the enemy has
said of
you, ‘
Aha! The ancient heights
have
become
our
possession ,’
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Because the enemy hath
said against
you, Aha! and,
The ancient high
places
are
ours
in
possession ;
therefore prophesy and declare
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Because they have made you desolate and have
trampled
you on every side, so
that you
became
a possession of
the rest
of the nations and were
taken up in slander
by
the lips of their
talkers,
therefore prophesy ,
and say,
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Because ,
even
because
they have made you desolate ,
and swallowed
you up
on every side, that ye
might
be
a possession unto
the residue
of the nations ,
and ye
are
taken up in the lips of talkers, and
the
evil
report
of
the
people;
therefore, O
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
to the mountains and hills, to the ravines
and valleys, to the desolate ruins
and abandoned
cities, which have
become a spoil
and a
mockery
to the rest
of the nations around
you.
therefore, ye
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah:
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
to the mountains and to
the
hills, to the watercourses
and to
the
valleys, to the desolate wastes
and to
the
cities that
are
forsaken
, which are
become a prey
and derision
to the residue
of the nations that
are
round
about;
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Surely in My burning
zeal
I
have spoken against the rest
of the nations, and against all Edom, who
took
My land as
their
own
possession with wholehearted
joy and
utter
contempt
, so
that
its
pastureland
became
plunder
.
therefore thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Surely in the
fire
of
my jealousy
have I
spoken against the residue
of the nations, and against all Edom, that
have
appointed
my land unto
themselves
for
a
possession with the
joy of
all
their
heart
, with
despite
of
soul,
to
cast
it
out
for
a
prey
.
Therefore ,
prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell
the mountains and hills, the ravines
and valleys, that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Behold, I have spoken in My burning
zeal
because you
have endured
the reproach
of the nations .
Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel ,
and say
unto
the mountains and to
the
hills, to
the watercourses
and to
the
valleys, Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy
and
in
my
wrath,
because ye
have borne
the shame
of the nations :
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: I have sworn with
an
uplifted
hand
that
surely the nations around
you will
endure
reproach
of
their own
.
therefore thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: I have sworn ,
`saying',
Surely the nations that
are
round
about
you ,
they
shall
bear
their shame
.
But you
, O mountains of Israel, will
produce
branches and bear
fruit for
My people Israel ,
for they will
soon
come home
.
But ye
, O mountains of Israel, ye
shall
shoot
forth
your
branches ,
and yield
your
fruit to
my people Israel ;
for they are
at
hand
to
come.
For behold, I am on
your
side;
I will turn toward
you, and you
will
be tilled and sown .
For ,
behold, I am for
you,
and
I will turn into
you, and ye
shall
be tilled and sown ;
I will multiply the
people
upon you —
the house of Israel in
its
entirety.
The cities will
be inhabited and the ruins
rebuilt.
and
I will multiply men
upon you ,
all
the house of Israel ,
even
all
of
it;
and
the cities shall
be inhabited ,
and the waste
places
shall
be
builded;
I will fill
you with
people
and animals,
and they will
multiply
and be fruitful .
I will make
you as
inhabited as
you
once
were
, and I
will make
you prosper
more
than before.
Then
you
will
know that I am the
LORD
.
and
I will multiply
upon
you man
and beast;
and they shall
increase
and be fruitful ;
and
I will cause
you to
be
inhabited after
your
former
estate
, and will do
better
`unto
you '
than at
your
beginnings:
and
ye
shall
know that I am Jehovah
.
Yes
, I will cause My
people
Israel
to walk upon you; they will
possess you
, and you
will
be their inheritance, and you
will
no longer
deprive
them of their
children.
Yea
, I will cause men
to walk upon you ,
even
my
people
Israel
; and
they shall
possess thee
, and thou
shalt
be their inheritance, and thou
shalt
no more
henceforth
bereave
them of children.
For
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Because people
say to
you, ‘You
devour
men and deprive
your
nation
of its
children,’
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: Because they
say unto
you, Thou
`land'
art
a
devourer
of
men ,
and hast
been
a
bereaver
of thy
nation;
therefore you
will
no
longer
devour men or
deprive
your
nation of
its
children
, declares
the Lord GOD.
therefore thou
shalt
devour men no
more,
neither
bereave
thy
nation any
more
, saith
the Lord Jehovah;
I
will no
longer
allow
the taunts
of the nations to
be
heard
against
you
, and
you
will
no
longer
endure
the reproach of the peoples or
cause your
nation to stumble, declares
the Lord GOD
. ”
neither
will I
let
thee
hear
any
more
the shame
of the nations, neither
shalt
thou
bear
the reproach of the peoples any
more,
neither
shalt
thou
cause thy
nation to stumble any
more
, saith
the Lord Jehovah
.
Again
the word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying,
Moreover
the word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying,
“
Son of man, when the people
of Israel lived
in their land, they defiled it by their own
ways
and deeds.
Their behavior
before Me was like
the uncleanness of a woman’s
impurity.
Son of man, when the house
of Israel dwelt
in their own
land, they defiled it by their way
and by
their doings:
their
way
before me was as
the uncleanness of a woman
in
her
impurity.
So
I poured out My wrath upon them because
of
the blood they had shed
on
the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols .
Wherefore
I poured out my wrath upon them for
the blood which
they had poured
out
upon
the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols ;
I dispersed
them among the nations, and they were scattered
throughout
the lands.
I
judged
them
according to their ways
and deeds
.
and
I scattered
them among the nations, and they were dispersed
through
the countries:
according to their way
and according
to
their
doings
I
judged
them
.
And wherever
they went
among
the nations, they profaned My holy name ,
because
it
was
said of them, ‘
These are the people of the
LORD
, yet
they
had
to
leave
His land. ’
And when
they came
unto
the nations, whither
they went,
they
profaned my holy name ;
in
that
men
said of them, These are the people of Jehovah
, and
are
gone
forth
out
of
his land.
But I had concern
for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to
which
they had
gone
.
But I had regard
for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations ,
whither
they went
.
Therefore tell
the house of Israel that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: It
is
not for your sake that
I
will
act
, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you
profaned among the nations to
which
you
went.
Therefore say
unto
the house of Israel ,
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: I
do
not `this'
for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye
have
profaned among the nations ,
whither
ye
went.
I will show
the
holiness
of
My great name, which has
been profaned among the nations —the
name
you
have profaned among
them .
Then
the nations will
know that I am the
LORD
, declares
the Lord GOD
, when I show
My
holiness
in you before their eyes.
And
I will sanctify
my great name, which hath
been profaned among the nations ,
which
ye
have profaned in
the
midst
of
them ;
and
the nations shall
know that I am Jehovah
, saith
the Lord Jehovah
, when I shall
be
sanctified
in you before their eyes.
For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I
will bring you back
into your own land.
For I will take you from among the nations ,
and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
I will also
sprinkle clean water on
you, and you
will
be clean .
I
will
cleanse
you
from all your impurities
and all your idols.
And
I will sprinkle clean water upon
you, and ye
shall
be clean :
from all your filthiness,
and from
all your idols ,
will
I
cleanse
you
.
I
will
give
you
a new heart and put
a new spirit within you; I will remove
your
heart of stone
and give you a heart of flesh.
A new heart also
will
I
give
you,
and a new spirit will
I
put
within you; and
I will take
away
the
stony
heart out
of your
flesh,
and I
will
give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to
carefully
observe
My
ordinances.
And I will put my Spirit within you ,
and cause you to walk in my statutes ,
and ye
shall
keep
mine
ordinances ,
and
do
them
.
Then
you
will
live
in the land that I gave your forefathers
; you
will
be My people, and I will be your God.
And
ye
shall
dwell
in the land that I gave to
your fathers
; and
ye
shall
be my people, and I will be your God.
I will save you from all your uncleanness.
I will summon
the grain and make
it plentiful
, and I
will
not
bring
famine upon you.
And
I will save you from all your uncleannesses:
and
I will call
for
the grain ,
and will
multiply
it, and lay
no
famine upon you.
I will also
make
the fruit of the trees
and the crops
of the field plentiful
, so
that you
will
no longer
bear
reproach among the nations on
account
of
famine
.
And
I will multiply
the fruit of the tree,
and the increase
of the field, that ye
may
receive
no more
the
reproach of
famine
among the nations.
Then you
will
remember your evil ways and
wicked
deeds
, and you
will
loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations.
Then shall
ye
remember your evil ways, and your
doings
that
were
not
good;
and
ye
shall
loathe yourselves in
your
own
sight
for your iniquities and for
your
abominations.
It
is
not
for your sake that
I will
act
, declares
the Lord GOD—let
it
be known to
you .
Be ashamed and disgraced
for your ways, O house of Israel !
Nor
for your sake do
I `this'
, saith
the Lord Jehovah,
be it
known unto
you :
be ashamed and confounded
for your ways, O house of Israel .
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: On
the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be resettled
and the ruins
to
be rebuilt
.
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: In
the day that
I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited,
and the waste
places
shall
be builded
.
The desolate
land will
be
cultivated
instead
of
lying
desolate in the sight of all who
pass
through
.
And
the land that
was
desolate shall
be
tilled,
whereas
it
was
a
desolation
in the sight of all that
passed
by
.
Then
they will
say, ‘
This land that was desolate has
become like the garden of Eden .
The cities
that
were
once
ruined,
desolate ,
and destroyed
are now
fortified and inhabited. ’
And
they shall
say, This land that was desolate is
become like the garden of Eden ;
and
the waste
and
desolate and ruined
cities
are fortified and inhabited.
Then the nations around
you
that remain
will
know that I, the
LORD
, have rebuilt
what
was
destroyed
, and I
have
replanted
what
was desolate .
I, the
LORD
, have spoken, and I will do it.
Then the nations that are
left
round
about
you
shall
know that I, Jehovah
, have builded
the
ruined
places
, and planted
that
which
was desolate :
I, Jehovah
, have spoken it
, and I will do it.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Once
again
I
will hear
the
plea
of the house of Israel and
do for them this
: I will multiply
their
people
like a flock.
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: For
this,
moreover,
will I
be
inquired
of by
the house of Israel ,
to
do it
for them: I will increase
them
with
men
like a flock.
Like
the numerous
flocks
for sacrifices
at
Jerusalem during
her appointed feasts, so the ruined
cities will
be filled with flocks of people.
Then
they will
know that I am the
LORD
. ”
As
the flock
for sacrifice,
as
the
flock
of
Jerusalem in
her appointed feasts, so shall
the waste
cities be filled with flocks of men;
and
they shall
know that I am Jehovah
.
