Ezekiel 36:8-12

English Standard Version

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