⁸ “‘“But you, mountains of Israel, your branch you will shoot, and your fruit you will carry^[a] for my people Israel, for they are soon to come. ⁹ For look! I am for you, and I will turn you, and you will be tilled, and you will be planted. ¹⁰ And I will cause your population^[b] to increase for you, all of the house of Israel, all of it, and the towns will be inhabited, and the ruins will be built. ¹¹ And I will cause your population^[c] to increase for you, and domestic animals, even they will be numerous, and they will be fruitful, and I will cause you to be inhabited like your ancient times,^[d] and I will do good things more than in your former times, and you will know that I am Yahweh. ¹² And I will send over you my people Israel, and they will take possession of you, and you will be for them as an inheritance, and you will no longer bereave them of their children.”^[e]
