Berean Standard Bible
You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel ,
and say ,
You
mountains of Israel, hear the word of Yahweh
.
“And
you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say :
O
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the
LORD
.
Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Because the enemy has said against
you, Aha! and,
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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Because ,
even
because
they have made you desolate ,
and swallowed
you up
on every side, that you might
be
a possession to
the residue
of the nations ,
and you
are
taken up in the lips of talkers, and
the
evil
report
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, you
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh:
Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
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, 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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: 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 to
themselves
for
a
possession with the
joy of
all
their
heart,
with
despite
of
soul
, 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
.
Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel ,
and tell the mountains and to
the
hills, to
the watercourses
and to
the
valleys, Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy
and
in
my
wrath,
because you have borne
the shame
of the nations :
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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: I have sworn ,
[saying],
Surely the nations that
are
round
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 you, mountains of Israel, you
shall
shoot
forth
your
branches ,
and yield
your
fruit to
my people 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 into
you, and you 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
on
you ,
all
the house of Israel ,
even
all
of
it;
and
the cities shall
be inhabited ,
and the waste
places
shall
be
built;
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
on
you man
and animal;
and they shall
increase
and be fruitful ;
and
I will cause
you to
be
inhabited after
your
former
estate
, and will do
better
[to
you ]
than at
your
beginnings:
and
you shall
know that I am Yahweh
.
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
.
Yes, I will cause men
to
walk
on
you,
even
my people Israel; and
they shall
possess you, and you shall
be their inheritance, and you shall
no more
henceforth
bereave
them of children.
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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: Because they
say to you, You [land]
are
a
devourer
of
men ,
and have
been
a
bereaver
of
your nation ;
For
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Because people
say to you, ‘
You devour
men and deprive
your nation of
its
children,’
therefore you shall
devour men no
more,
neither
bereave
your nation any
more
, says
the Lord Yahweh;
therefore you will
no
longer
devour men or
deprive
your nation of
its
children
, declares
the Lord GOD.
neither
will
I let
you
hear
any
more
the shame
of the nations, neither
shall
you bear
the reproach of the peoples any
more,
neither
shall
you
cause your nation to stumble any
more
, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
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 Yahweh
came to me, saying,
Again
the word of the
LORD
came to me, saying,
Son of man, when the house
of Israel lived 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.
“
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.
Therefore
I poured out my wrath on
them for
the blood which
they had poured
out
on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols ;
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 nations, 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
.
When
they came
to
the nations, where
they went,
they
profaned my holy name ;
in
that
men
said of them, These are the people of Yahweh
, 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 regard
for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations ,
where
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 tell the house of Israel ,
Thus
says
the Lord Yahweh
: I
don't
do
[this]
for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have
profaned among the nations ,
where
you 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.
I will sanctify
my great name, which has been profaned among the nations ,
which
you have profaned in
the
midst
of
them ;
and
the nations shall
know that I am Yahweh
, says
the Lord Yahweh
, 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 nations ,
and gather you out of all the 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.
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you 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 a 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.
I will put my Spirit within you ,
and cause you to walk in my statutes ,
and you
shall
keep
my ordinances ,
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.
You shall
dwell
in the land that I gave to
your fathers
; and
you 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 save you from all your uncleanness :
and
I will call
for
the grain ,
and will
multiply
it, and lay
no
famine on
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.
I will multiply
the fruit of the tree,
and the increase
of the field, that you may
receive
no more
the
reproach of
famine
among the nations.
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
you remember your evil ways ,
and your
doings
that
were
not
good;
and you shall
loathe 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.
Nor
for your sake do
I [this]
, says
the Lord Yahweh,
be
it known to you :
be ashamed and confounded
for your ways, 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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: 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 built
.
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
.
The land
that
was
desolate shall
be tilled,
whereas
it
was
a
desolation
in the sight of all who passed
by
.
The desolate land
will
be cultivated
instead
of
lying
desolate
in the sight of all who pass
through
.
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
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 nations that
are
left
round
about
you shall
know that I, Yahweh
, have built
the
ruined
places
, and planted
that
which
was desolate :
I, Yahweh
, 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
says
the Lord Yahweh
: 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.
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 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 Yahweh
.
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
. ”
