⁸ But you, mountains of Israel, will extend your branches and bear your fruit for my people Israel, because they will come home very soon. ⁹ Look, I’m here for you, and I will turn toward you, and you will be farmed and sown. ¹⁰ I will populate you with human beings, the whole house of Israel, all of them. The cities will be inhabited, the ruins rebuilt. ¹¹ When I make people and animals increase on you, they will multiply and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before. I will do more good for you than in the beginning, and you will know that I am the Lord. ¹² I will let people walk through you, my people Israel! They will lay claim to you, you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer deprive them of anything.
