Ezekiel 36:8-12

The Voice

⁸ But you, Israel’s mountains, will shoot forth new branches and bear fruit for My people Israel. They will be home soon. ⁹ I, of course, care about you and will turn My attention on you. Therefore, your soil will be plowed and your fields sown. ¹⁰ I will increase the population and replenish the whole community of Israel. I will bring life back into the desolate cities, and heaps of rubble will be turned into grand structures. ¹¹ I will increase the population of people and animals that live on your slopes once again; they will be more numerous, and you will become more productive than ever before! After all these things come to pass, you will know that I am the Eternal. ¹² I will settle My people Israel on you, and they will possess you, and you will be the land they pass from one generation to the next. You will never again take their children.
