Yechezkel 36:1-12 יחזקאל ל״ו:א׳-י״ב

And thou, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Yisra᾽el, and say, You mountains of Yisra᾽el hear the word of the Lord:

thus says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

therefore prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord God; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the rest of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are become the gossip of the people:

therefore, you mountains of Yisra᾽el, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the water courses, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and a derision to the residue of the nations that are round about;

therefore thus says the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, who have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with disdainful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Yisra᾽el, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the water courses, and to the valleys saying, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because you have suffered the insult of the nations:

therefore thus says the Lord God; I have lifted up my hand, saying, Surely the nations that are about you, they shall bear their own insult.

But you, O mountains of Yisra᾽el, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Yisra᾽el; for they will soon be coming.

For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown:

and I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Yisra᾽el, all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places rebuilt:

and I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former times, and I will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

And I will cause men to walk upon you, my people Yisra᾽el; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no longer bereave them of children.
