Ezekiel 36:8-12
New International Version
8 “‘But you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit(A) for my people Israel, for they will soon come home. 9 I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown,(B) 10 and I will cause many people to live on you—yes, all of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins(C) rebuilt.(D) 11 I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful(E) and become numerous. I will settle people(F) on you as in the past(G) and will make you prosper more than before.(H) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 I will cause people, my people Israel, to live on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance;(I) you will never again deprive them of their children.

The Future of Israel’s Mountains
9 “Watch me! I’m on your side! I’ll be turning in your direction, and you mountains[a] will be plowed and planted. 10 I’m going to make the entire house of Israel grow—every single member[b]—and their cities will be inhabited with all the ruins rebuilt. 11 I’ll make both the population and the livestock increase throughout your territories. They’ll increase and be fruitful. I’ll make your territories to be settled like you were in the past, and you will be treated better than you ever were before. At that time you will know that I am the Lord.
12 “I’ll lead my people, my nation of Israel, across you mountains,[c] and they will take possession of you again, and you’ll be their inheritance once more. Never again will you leave them robbed of children.
