1	Also, thou son of man, prophesy# unto the mountains of Israel, and say# , Ye mountains of Israel, hear# the word of the LORD:
			2	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; Because the enemy# hath said# against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
			3	Therefore prophesy# and say# , Thus saith# the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate# , and swallowed you up# on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up# in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people: [Because: Heb. Because for because] [are...: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue]
			4	Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear# the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith# the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate# wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken# , which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about; [rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales]
			5	Therefore thus saith# the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken# against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed# my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
			6	Prophesy# therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say# unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith# the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken# in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne# the shame of the heathen:
			7	Therefore thus saith# the Lord GOD; I have lifted up# mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear# their shame.
			8	But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth# your branches, and yield# your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand# to come# .
			9	For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn# unto you, and ye shall be tilled# and sown# :
			10	And I will multiply# men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited# , and the wastes shall be builded# :
			11	And I will multiply# upon you man and beast; and they shall increase# and bring fruit# : and I will settle# you after your old estates, and will do better# unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know# that I am the LORD.
			12	Yea, I will cause men to walk# upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess# thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more# henceforth bereave# them of men .
			13	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; Because they say# unto you, Thou land devourest up# men, and hast bereaved# thy nations;
			14	Therefore thou shalt devour# men no more, neither bereave# # # thy nations any more, saith# the Lord GOD. [bereave: or, cause to fall]
			15	Neither will I cause men to hear# in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear# the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall# any more, saith# the Lord GOD.
			16	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying# ,
			17	Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt# in their own land, they defiled# it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
			18	Wherefore I poured# my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed# upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted# it:
			19	And I scattered# them among the heathen, and they were dispersed# through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged# them.
			20	And when they entered# unto the heathen, whither they went# , they profaned# my holy name, when they said# to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth# out of his land.
			21	But I had pity# for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned# among the heathen, whither they went# .
			22	Therefore say# unto the house of Israel, Thus saith# the Lord GOD; I do# not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned# among the heathen, whither ye went# .
			23	And I will sanctify# my great name, which was profaned# among the heathen, which ye have profaned# in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know# that I am the LORD, saith# the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified# in you before their eyes. [their: or, your]
			24	For I will take# you from among the heathen, and gather# you out of all countries, and will bring# you into your own land.
			25	Then will I sprinkle# clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean# : from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse# you.
			26	A new heart also will I give# you, and a new spirit will I put# within you: and I will take away# the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give# you an heart of flesh.
			27	And I will put# my spirit within you, and cause# you to walk# in my statutes, and ye shall keep# my judgments, and do# them .
			28	And ye shall dwell# in the land that I gave# to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
			29	I will also save# you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call# for the corn, and will increase# it, and lay# no famine upon you.
			30	And I will multiply# the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive# no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
			31	Then shall ye remember# your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe# yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
			32	Not for your sakes do# I this , saith# the Lord GOD, be it known# unto you: be ashamed# and confounded# for your own ways, O house of Israel.
			33	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed# you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell# in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded# .
			34	And the desolate# land shall be tilled# , whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by# .
			35	And they shall say# , This land that was desolate# is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate# and ruined# cities are become fenced# , and are inhabited# .
			36	Then the heathen that are left# round about you shall know# that I the LORD build# the ruined# places, and plant# that that was desolate# : I the LORD have spoken# it , and I will do# it .
			37	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired# of by the house of Israel, to do# it for them; I will increase# them with men like a flock.
			38	As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know# that I am the LORD. [holy...: Heb. flock of holy things]
