Ezekiel 36:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ I will cause many people and animals to live in you, Israel. They will have many babies. I will cause people to make their homes in your towns, just as I did in the past. I will help you succeed more than ever before. Then you will know that I am the Lord. ¹² I will let my people Israel live there again. They will possess you. They will receive you as their own. You will never take their children away from them again.” ’ ”

¹³ The Lord and King says, “People say to you mountains, ‘You destroy people. You let your nation’s children be taken away.’
