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 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 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 .
