Ezekiel 36

Restoration for Israel

36“Son of man, prophesy to Israel’s mountains. Give them this message: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord!H1121H120H5012H2022H3478H559H2022H3478H8085H1697H30682This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Your enemies have taunted you, saying, ‘Aha! Now the ancient heights belong to us!’H559H136H3069H341H559H1889H5769H1116H41813Therefore, son of man, give the mountains of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: Your enemies have attacked you from all directions, making you the property of many nations and the object of much mocking and slander.H5012H559H559H136H3069H8074H7602H5439H4181H7611H1471H5927H8193H3956H1681H59714Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. He speaks to the hills and mountains, ravines and valleys, and to ruined wastes and long-deserted cities that have been destroyed and mocked by the surrounding nations.H2022H3478H8085H1697H136H3069H559H136H3069H2022H1389H650H1516H8074H2723H5892H5800H957H3933H7611H1471H54395This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My jealous anger burns against these nations, especially Edom, because they have shown utter contempt for me by gleefully taking my land for themselves as plunder.H559H136H3069H784H7068H1696H7611H1471H123H5414H776H4181H8057H3824H7589H5315H4054H9576“Therefore, prophesy to the hills and mountains, the ravines and valleys of Israel. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am furious that you have suffered shame before the surrounding nations.H5012H127H3478H559H2022H1389H650H1516H559H136H3069H1696H7068H2534H5375H3639H14717Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I have taken a solemn oath that those nations will soon have their own shame to endure.H559H136H3069H5375H3027H1471H5439H5375H36398“But the mountains of Israel will produce heavy crops of fruit for my people—for they will be coming home again soon!H2022H3478H5414H6057H5375H6529H5971H3478H7126H9359See, I care about you, and I will pay attention to you. Your ground will be plowed and your crops planted.H6437H5647H223210I will greatly increase the population of Israel, and the ruined cities will be rebuilt and filled with people.H7235H120H1004H3478H5892H3427H2723H112911I will increase not only the people, but also your animals. O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.H7235H120H929H7235H6509H3427H6927H2895H7221H3045H306812I will cause my people to walk on you once again, and you will be their territory. You will never again rob them of their children.H120H3212H5971H3478H3423H5159H3254H792113“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The other nations taunt you, saying, ‘Israel is a land that devours its own people and robs them of their children!’H559H136H3069H559H398H120H7921H147114But you will never again devour your people or rob them of their children, says the Sovereign Lord.H398H120H7921H3782H1471H5002H136H306915I will not let you hear those other nations insult you, and you will no longer be mocked by them. You will not be a land that causes its nation to fall, says the Sovereign Lord.”H8085H3639H1471H5375H2781H5971H1471H3782H5002H136H306916Then this further message came to me from the Lord:H1697H3068H55917“Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by the evil way they lived. To me their conduct was as unclean as a woman’s menstrual cloth.H1121H120H1004H3478H3427H127H2930H1870H5949H1870H6440H2932H507918They polluted the land with murder and the worship of idols

, so I poured out my fury on them.H8210H2534H1818H8210H776H1544H293019I scattered them to many lands to punish them for the evil way they had lived.H6327H1471H2219H776H1870H5949H819920But when they were scattered among the nations, they brought shame on my holy name. For the nations said, ‘These are the people of the Lord, but he couldn’t keep them safe in his own land!’H935H1471H935H2490H6944H8034H559H5971H3068H3318H77621Then I was concerned for my holy name, on which my people brought shame among the nations.H2550H6944H8034H1004H3478H2490H1471H93522“Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am bringing you back, but not because you deserve it. I am doing it to protect my holy name, on which you brought shame while you were scattered among the nations.H559H1004H3478H559H136H3069H6213H1004H3478H6944H8034H2490H1471H93523I will show how holy my great name is—the name on which you brought shame among the nations. And when I reveal my holiness through you before their very eyes, says the Sovereign Lord, then the nations will know that I am the Lord.H6942H1419H8034H2490H1471H2490H8432H1471H3045H3068H5002H136H3069H6942H586924For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land.H3947H4480H1471H6908H776H935H12725“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols.H2236H2889H4325H2891H2932H1544H289126And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart

You will be my people, and I will be your God.H3427H776H5414H1H5971H43029I will cleanse you of your filthy behavior. I will give you good crops of grain, and I will send no more famines on the land.H3467H2932H7121H1715H7235H5414H745830I will give you great harvests from your fruit trees and fields, and never again will the surrounding nations be able to scoff at your land for its famines.H7235H6529H6086H8570H7704H3947H2781H7458H147131Then you will remember your past sins and despise yourselves for all the detestable things you did.H2142H7451H1870H4611H2896H6962H6440H5771H844132But remember, says the Sovereign Lord, I am not doing this because you deserve it. O my people of Israel, you should be utterly ashamed of all you have done!H6213H5002H136H3069H3045H954H3637H1870H1004H347833“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I cleanse you from your sins, I will repopulate your cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt.H559H136H3069H3117H2891H5771H3427H5892H2723H112934The fields that used to lie empty and desolate in plain view of everyone will again be farmed.H8074H776H5647H8077H5869H567435And when I bring you back, people will say, ‘This former wasteland is now like the Garden of Eden! The abandoned and ruined cities now have strong walls and are filled with people!’H559H1977H776H8074H1588H5731H2720H8074H2040H5892H1219H342736Then the surrounding nations that survive will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruins and replanted the wasteland. For I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I say.H1471H7604H5439H3045H3068H1129H2040H5193H8074H3068H1696H621337“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am ready to hear Israel’s prayers and to increase their numbers like a flock.H559H136H3069H1875H1004H3478H6213H7235H120H662938They will be as numerous as the sacred flocks that fill Jerusalem’s streets at the time of her festivals. The ruined cities will be crowded with people once more, and everyone will know that I am the Lord.”H6944H6629H6629H3389H4150H2720H5892H4392H6629H120H3045H3068
