“
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
mountains of Israel ,
and thou
hast
said,
O mountains of Israel, hear a
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because the enemy said against
you, Aha ,
and
the high
places
of
old
for
a
possession have
been
to
us
,
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 thou
hast
said:
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because ,
even
because,
of
desolating,
And of
swallowing
you up
from
round
about
, For
your
being
a possession to
the remnant
of the nations ,
And ye
are
taken up on
the tip
of the
tongue
, And
`are'
an
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, O mountains of Israel, Hear a
word of the Lord Jehovah:
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah,
to mountains ,
and to
hills, To streams,
and to
valleys, And
to wastes
that
`are'
desolate ,
And to
cities that
are
forsaken
, That
have been
for
a prey,
And for
a scorn,
to the remnant
of the nations who
`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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Have
I
not,
in the
fire
of
My jealousy,
Spoken against the remnant
of the nations, And against Edom --
all
of
it
, Who gave
My land to
themselves
for
a
possession ,
With the
joy of
the
whole
heart
--
with
despite
of
soul
, For
the
sake
of
casting
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 ground
of Israel ,
And thou
hast
said
to
mountains ,
and to
hills, To
streams,
and to
valleys, Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo
, I ,
in My jealousy,
and
in
My
fury,
I
have spoken,
Because
the shame
of nations ye
have
borne
.
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: I --
I
have lifted
up
My
hand ,
Do
not
--
the nations who
`are'
with
you from
round
about
--
they
their own shame
bear?
But
you
, O mountains of Israel, will
produce
branches
and bear fruit
for My people Israel, for they will
soon
come home
.
And
ye
, O mountains of Israel, Your
branch
ye
give
out,
and your
fruits
ye
bear for My people Israel, For they have
drawn
near
to
come.
For behold
, I am on
your
side;
I
will
turn
toward
you, and you will
be
tilled and sown.
For, lo,
I `
am '
for
you, and have
turned
to
you ,
And
ye
have
been
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 have
multiplied
on
you men,
All
the house of Israel --
all
of
it,
And
the cities have
been
inhabited ,
And the wastes
are
built
.
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 have
multiplied
on
you man
and beast
, And they have
multiplied
and been
fruitful ,
And
I have
caused
you to
dwell
according
to
your
former
states
, And I have
done
better
than at
your
beginnings,
And
ye
have
known
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
.
And
I have
caused
man
to walk over
you ,
--
My
people
Israel,
And
they possess thee
, and thou
hast
been
to
them
for
an
inheritance, And thou
dost
add
no more
to
bereave
them.
For
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Because people
say
to you ,
‘You
devour
men and deprive
your
nation
of its
children
, ’
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because they
are
saying
to you :
A
devourer
of
men `art'
thou,
And a
bereaver
of thy
nations
thou
hast
been
,
therefore you
will
no longer
devour
men
or
deprive
your
nation
of
its
children
, declares
the Lord GOD
.
Therefore ,
man
thou
devourest
no more
, And
thy
nations
thou
causest
not
to
stumble
any
more,
An
affirmation
of
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
. ”
And
I proclaim
not
unto
thee
any
more
the shame
of the nations, And the reproach of peoples thou
bearest
no
more,
And
thy
nations
stumble not
any
more
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
. '
Again
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
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, The house
of Israel are
dwelling
on
their land, And
they defile
it by their way
and by
their doings,
As
the uncleanness of a separated
one
hath
their
way
been
before
Me
.
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.
And
I do
pour
out My fury
upon them For
the blood that
they shed on the land, And with their idols they
have
defiled
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 scatter
them among nations, And they are
spread
through
lands ,
According to their way,
and according
to
their
doings,
I
have
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 one
goeth
in
unto
the nations whither
they
have
gone
, And
they pollute
My holy name by
saying
to
them, The people of Jehovah
`are'
these
, And
from
His land they
have
gone
forth
.
But
I had
concern
for
My holy name, which
the house of Israel had
profaned
among the
nations to
which
they had
gone.
And
I have
pity
on
My holy name, That
the house of Israel have
polluted
among nations whither
they have
gone in
.
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
to
the house of Israel ,
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Not for your sake am
I working
, O house of Israel, But --
for My holy name, That
ye
have
polluted
among nations whither
ye
have
gone
in
.
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 have
sanctified
My great name, That
is
profaned among nations ,
That
ye
have polluted
in
your
midst,
And
known
have
the nations that I `
am '
Jehovah
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, In
My being
sanctified
in you before your
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 .
And
I have
taken
you out
of
the nations ,
And have
gathered
you out of all the lands
, And I have
brought
you in
unto
your 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 have
sprinkled
over
you
clean water, And ye
have
been
clean ;
From all your uncleannesses,
and from
all your idols ,
I
do
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.
And
I have
given
to
you a new heart ,
And a new spirit I give
in
your midst,
And
I
have
turned
aside
the
heart of stone out
of
your
flesh,
And I
have
given
to
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 My Spirit I
give
in
your
midst,
And I
have
done
this,
so
that
in My statutes ye
walk,
And My judgments
ye
keep,
and
have
done
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
have
dwelt
in the land that I have
given
to
your fathers,
And
ye
have
been
to
Me
for
a
people, And I --
I
am
to
you
for
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 have
saved
you from all your uncleannesses,
And
I have
called
unto
the corn,
and multiplied
it, And I have
put
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 have
multiplied
the fruit of the tree,
And the increase
of the field, So that ye
receive
not
any
more
a
reproach of famine among
nations
.
Then
you
will
remember
your evil
ways and wicked
deeds
, and you
will
loathe
yourselves
for your iniquities and abominations.
And
ye
have
remembered
your ways that
`are'
evil,
And your
doings
that
`are'
not
good
, And have
been
loathsome
in
your
own
faces,
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 sake am
I working
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
Be it
known to you ,
Be ashamed and confounded,
because
of
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: In
the day of
My
cleansing
you from all your iniquities, I have
caused
the cities to be inhabited,
And the wastes
have
been
built,
The desolate land will
be
cultivated
instead of lying
desolate
in
the sight
of all
who
pass
through.
And
the desolate land is
tilled,
Instead of which
it
was
a
desolation
before
the eyes
of every
passer
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 have
said:
This land ,
that was desolated,
Hath
been
as
the garden of Eden ,
And
the cities --
the
wasted
, And the
desolated,
and the
broken
down,
Fenced
places
have
remained
.
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.
And
known
have
the nations who
are
left
round
about
you ,
That I Jehovah
have built
the
thrown
down
, I have planted
the desolated:
I
Jehovah
have spoken, and I have
done
`
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Yet
this
I am
required,
By
the house of Israel to
do to
them ,
I multiply them
as
a flock of
men,
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
a
flock
of
holy
ones,
as
a
flock
of
Jerusalem ,
In
her appointed seasons
, So are
the waste
cities full
of
flocks of men,
And
they have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah!'
