Ezekiel 36:7-12

English Standard Version

⁷ Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(A)I swear that the nations that are all around you ^(B)shall themselves suffer reproach.

⁸ “But you, O mountains of Israel, ^(C)shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for ^(D)they will soon come home. ⁹ For ^(E)behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and ^(F)you shall be tilled and sown. ¹⁰ And ^(G)I will multiply people on you, the whole house of Israel, all of it. ^(H)The cities shall be inhabited and the waste places rebuilt. ¹¹ And I will multiply on you ^(I)man and beast, and ^(J)they shall multiply and be fruitful. And I will cause you to be inhabited as in ^(K)your former times, and ^(L)will do more good to you than ever before. ^(M)Then you will know that I am the Lord. ¹² I will let people walk on you, even my people Israel. ^(N)And they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no longer ^(O)bereave them of children.
