Berean Standard Bible
Also
, thou
son of man, prophesy unto
the mountains of Israel ,
and say ,
Ye
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD :
“And
you
, son of man, prophesy to
the mountains of Israel and say :
O
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD .
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Because the enemy hath
said against
you, Aha ,
even
the ancient high
places
are
ours
in
possession :
This
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
Because the enemy has
said of
you, ‘
Aha !
The ancient heights
have
become
our
possession ,’
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 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, 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, 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 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 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
.
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 ,
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 thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
I have lifted
up
mine
hand ,
Surely the heathen
that
are
about
you ,
they
shall
bear
their shame
.
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
.
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.
But you
, O mountains of Israel, will
produce
branches and bear
fruit for
My people Israel ,
for they will
soon
come home
.
For ,
behold, I am for
you,
and
I will turn unto
you, and ye
shall
be tilled and sown :
For behold, I am on
your
side;
I will turn toward
you, and you
will
be tilled and sown .
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 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
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Because they
say unto
you, Thou
land
devourest
up
men ,
and hast
bereaved
thy
nations:
For
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
Because people
say to
you, ‘You
devour
men and deprive
your
nation
of
its
children,’
Therefore thou
shalt
devour men no
more,
neither
bereave
thy
nations
any
more
, saith
the Lord GOD.
therefore you
will
no
longer
devour men or
deprive
your
nation
of
its
children
, 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.
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. ”
Moreover
the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying,
Again
the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
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
.
“
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
.
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 :
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 scattered
them among the heathen
, and they were dispersed
through
the countries:
according to their way
and according
to
their
doings
I
judged
them
.
I dispersed
them among the nations
, and they were scattered
throughout
the lands.
I
judged
them
according to their ways
and deeds
.
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.
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. ’
But I had pity
for mine
holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen,
whither
they went
.
But I had concern
for My
holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations
to
which
they had
gone
.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For I will take you from among the heathen,
and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
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.
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
also
sprinkle clean water on
you, and you
will
be clean .
I
will
cleanse
you
from all your impurities
and all your idols.
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.
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 will put my spirit within you ,
and cause you to walk in my statutes ,
and ye
shall
keep
my judgments,
and
do
them
.
And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to
carefully
observe
My ordinances
.
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.
Then
you
will
live
in the land that I gave your forefathers
; you
will
be My people, and I will be your God.
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 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 multiply
the fruit of the tree,
and the increase
of the field, that ye
shall
receive
no more
reproach of
famine
among the heathen
.
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
.
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.
Then you
will
remember your evil ways and wicked
deeds
, and you
will
loathe
yourselves for your iniquities and abominations.
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 .
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 !
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
.
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
.
And
the desolate land shall
be tilled,
whereas
it
lay
desolate in the sight of all that
passed
by
.
The desolate land will
be cultivated
instead
of
lying
desolate in the sight of all who
pass
through
.
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
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. ’
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. ”
