1“O man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.

2The Lord GOD says: The enemy has boasted over you, ‘Aha! Now the ancient heights are ours.’

3Therefore prophesy and say: These are the words of the Lord GOD: You mountains of Israel, all round you men gloated over you and trampled you down when you were seized and occupied by the rest of the nations; your name was bandied about in common gossip. Therefore, listen to the words of the Lord GOD when he speaks to the mountains and hills, to the streams and valleys, to ruined places and deserted cities, all plundered and despised by the rest of the surrounding nations.

4(36:3)

5The Lord GOD says: In the heat of my jealousy I have spoken out against the rest of the nations, and against Edom above all, for with hearts full of glee and feelings of contempt they seized my land as spoil.

6Therefore prophesy over the soil of Israel; say to the mountains and hills, the streams and valleys: The Lord GOD has said: I have spoken my mind in jealous anger because you have had to endure the taunts of the nations.

7Therefore, says the Lord GOD, I swear with uplifted hand that the nations round about you will in turn endure taunting.

8But you, mountains of Israel, will put forth your branches and yield your fruit for my people Israel, for their homecoming is near.

9See now, I am for you, I shall turn to you, and you will be tilled and sown.

10I shall settle on you many people -- the whole house of Israel. The towns will again be inhabited and the ruined places rebuilt.

11I shall settle in you many people and beasts; they will increase and be fruitful. I shall make you populous as in days of old, and more prosperous than you were in your earliest times. Thus you will know that I am the LORD.

12I shall make my people Israel tread your paths again. They will settle in you, and you will be their possession. Never again will you leave them childless.

13“The Lord GOD says: It is said that you are a land that devours human beings and leaves your nation childless.

14But never again will you devour them or leave your nation childless, says the Lord GOD.

15I shall never let you hear again the taunts of the surrounding nations, nor will you have to suffer the scorn of foreigners. This is the word of the Lord GOD.”

16This word of the LORD came to me:

17“O man, when the Israelites were living on their own soil they defiled it with their ways and deeds; their ways were loathsome and unclean in my sight.

18I poured out my fury on them for the blood they had poured out on the land, and for the idols with which they had defiled it.

19I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed in many lands. I passed a sentence on them which their ways and deeds deserved.

20But whenever they came among the nations, they caused my holy name to be profaned. It was said of them, ‘These are the LORD's people, and it is from his land they have gone into exile.’

21So I spared them for the sake of my holy name which the Israelites had profaned among the nations to whom they had gone.

22“Therefore tell the Israelites that the Lord GOD says: It is not for the sake of you Israelites that I am acting, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the peoples where you have gone.

23I shall hallow my great name, which you have profaned among those nations. When they see that I reveal my holiness through you, they will know that I am the LORD, says the Lord GOD.

24I shall take you from among the nations, and gather you from every land, and bring you to your homeland.

25I shall sprinkle pure water over you, and you will be purified from everything that defiles you; I shall purify you from the taint of all your idols.

26I shall give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I shall remove the heart of stone from your body and give you a heart of flesh.

27I shall put my spirit within you and make you conform to my statutes; you will observe my laws faithfully.

28Then you will live in the land I gave to your forefathers; you will be my people, and I shall be your God.

29“Having saved you from all that defiles you, I shall command the grain to be plentiful; I shall bring no more famine upon you.

30I shall make the trees bear abundant fruit and the ground yield heavy crops, so that you will never again have to bear among the nations the reproach of famine.

31You will recall your wicked conduct and evil deeds, and you will loathe yourselves because of your wrongdoing and your abominations.

32I assure you it is not for your sake that I am acting, says the Lord GOD, so feel the shame and disgrace of your ways, people of Israel.

33“The Lord GOD says: When I have cleansed you of all your wrongdoing, I shall resettle the towns, and the ruined places will be rebuilt.

34The land now desolate will be tilled, instead of lying waste for every passer-by to see.

35Everyone will say that this land which was waste has become like a garden of Eden, and the towns once ruined, wasted, and shattered will now be fortified and inhabited.

36The nations still left around you will know that it is I, the LORD, who have rebuilt the shattered towns and replanted the land laid waste; I, the LORD, have spoken and I shall do it.

37“The Lord GOD says: Once again I shall let the Israelites pray to me for help. I shall make their people as numerous as a flock of sheep.

38As Jerusalem is filled with sheep offered as holy-gifts at times of festival, so will their ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
