But as for you, mountains of Israel, you will [a](A)grow your branches and bear fruit for My people Israel; for they are about to come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will (B)turn to you, and you will be (C)cultivated and sown. 10 And I will multiply people on you, (D)all the house of Israel, all of it; and the (E)cities will be inhabited and the ruins will be rebuilt. 11 I will multiply on you people and animals, and they will increase and be fruitful; and I will populate you as you were (F)previously, and treat you (G)better than at the beginning. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 Yes, I will have (H)people—My people Israel—walk on you and possess you, so that you will become their (I)inheritance and never again (J)bereave them of children.’

  1. Ezekiel 36:8 Lit give

“But you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they will soon come home. For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown; 10 and I will multiply men upon you, the whole house of Israel, all of it; the cities shall be inhabited and the waste places rebuilt; 11 and I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former times, and will do more good to you than ever before. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 Yea, I will let men walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no longer bereave them of children.
