Ezekiel 36:35-37

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁵ And they will say, “This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined towns are now inhabited and fortified.” ³⁶ Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places, and replanted that which was desolate; I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it.

³⁷ Thus says the Lord God: I will also let the house of Israel ask me to do this for them: to increase their population like a flock.
