Ezekiel 36:8-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ But you, O mountains of Israel, will shoot forth your branches and bear your fruit for my people Israel, because they will soon come back. ⁹ Yes, I am on your side. I will look on you with favor, and your land will be cultivated and planted. ¹⁰ I will multiply people for you, for the whole house of Israel, all of it. The cities will be resettled and the ruins rebuilt. ¹¹ I will multiply both people and animals on you. They will multiply and be fruitful. I will resettle you as you were in earlier times and do more good for you than I did when you began. Then you will know that I am the Lord. ¹² I will cause people, my people Israel, to walk over you. They will take possession of you. You will become their inheritance, and never again will you deprive them of their children.
