Ezekiel 36:34-36
1599 Geneva Bible
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay waste in the sight of all that passed by.
35 For they said, This waste land was like the garden of Eden, and these waste, and desolate, and ruinous cities were strong, and were inhabited.
36 Then the residue of the heathen, that are left round about you, shall [a]know that I the Lord build the ruinous places, and plant the desolate places: I the Lord have spoken it, and will do it.

- Ezekiel 36:36 He declareth that it ought not to be referred to the soil or plentifulness of the earth that any country is rich and abundant, but only to God’s mercies, as his plagues and curses declare, when he maketh it barren.
Ezekiel 36:34-36
New International Version
34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. 35 They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden;(A) the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.(B)” 36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’(C)
