King James Version
“And
you
, son of man, prophesy to
the mountains of Israel and say :
O
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD .
Also
, thou
son of man, prophesy unto
the mountains of Israel ,
and say ,
Ye
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD :
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 GOD ;
Because the enemy hath
said against
you, Aha ,
even
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 GOD ;
Because they have made you desolate ,
and swallowed
you up
on every side, that ye
might
be
a possession unto
the residue
of the heathen,
and ye
are
taken up in the lips of talkers, and
are
an
infamy
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 GOD ;
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD to the mountains ,
and to
the
hills, to the rivers,
and to
the
valleys, to the desolate wastes,
and to
the
cities that
are
forsaken
, which became
a prey
and derision
to the residue
of the heathen
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 GOD ;
Surely in the
fire
of
my jealousy
have I
spoken against the residue
of the heathen
, and against all Idumea
, which
have
appointed
my land into
their possession with the
joy of
all
their
heart
, with
despiteful
minds,
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.
Prophesy therefore
concerning the land of Israel ,
and say
unto
the mountains ,
and to
the
hills, to
the rivers,
and to
the
valleys, Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy
and
in
my
fury,
because ye
have borne
the shame
of the heathen:
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 GOD ;
I have lifted
up
mine
hand ,
Surely the heathen
that
are
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 of
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 unto
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 wastes
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 bring
fruit:
and
I will settle
you after
your
old
estates
, and will do
better
unto
you than at
your
beginnings:
and
ye
shall
know that I am the LORD.
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 men
.
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 GOD ;
Because they
say unto
you, Thou
land
devourest
up
men, and
hast
bereaved
thy
nations:
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
nations
any
more,
saith
the Lord GOD.
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
cause
men
to
hear
in
thee
the shame
of the heathen
any
more
, neither
shalt
thou
bear
the reproach of the people
any
more,
neither
shalt
thou
cause thy
nations
to fall
any
more
, saith
the Lord GOD.
Again
the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
Moreover
the word of the LORD 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 own way
and by
their doings:
their
way
was
before me as
the uncleanness of a removed
woman
.
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 my fury
upon them for
the blood that
they had shed upon
the land, and for
their
idols
wherewith
they had polluted
it :
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 heathen
, 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 entered
unto
the heathen
, whither
they went,
they
profaned my holy name, when
they
said to
them, These are the people of the LORD, 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 pity
for mine
holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen,
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 GOD ;
I
do
not this
for your sakes
, O house of Israel, but for mine
holy name's
sake
, which ye
have
profaned among the heathen,
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 was
profaned among the heathen,
which
ye
have profaned in
the
midst
of
them ;
and
the heathen
shall
know that I am the LORD, saith
the Lord GOD, 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 heathen,
and gather you out of all 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.
Then
will I
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 an
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
my judgments,
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.
I will also
save you from all your uncleannesses:
and
I will call
for
the corn,
and will
increase
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
shall
receive
no more
reproach of famine among
the
heathen
.
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 own
evil ways ,
and your
doings
that
were
not
good
, and shall
lothe
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 !
Not for your sakes
do
I this
, saith
the Lord GOD ,
be it
known unto
you :
be ashamed and confounded
for your own
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 GOD ;
In
the day that
I shall
have
cleansed
you from all your iniquities I will also
cause you
to
dwell
in
the cities ,
and the wastes
shall
be builded
.
The desolate land will
be cultivated
instead
of
lying
desolate in the sight of all who
pass
through
.
And
the desolate land shall
be tilled,
whereas
it
lay
desolate 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 become
fenced,
and are
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 heathen
that are
left
round
about
you
shall
know that I the LORD build
the
ruined
places
, and plant
that
that
was desolate :
I the LORD 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 GOD ;
I will yet
for
this
be
enquired
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 holy
flock,
as
the
flock
of
Jerusalem in
her solemn
feasts ;
so shall
the waste
cities be filled with flocks of men:
and
they shall
know that I am the LORD.
