Ezekiel 36
36:1And you, O son of man, prophesy against the mountains of Israel! and say to the mountains of Israel! Hear the word of the lord!
36:2Thus says the Lord the lord; Because the enemy said against you, Well done, for now the eternal desolate places became our possession.
36:3On account of this, prophesy and say! Thus says the Lord the lord; Because of you being dishonored, and being detested by the ones round about you, for you to be for a possession to the rest of the nations, and you ascended as a tongue of discussion, and a scorn to nations.
36:4On account of this, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the lord. Thus says the lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the rushing streams, and to the ravines, and to the places being made quite desolate, and being obliterated, and to the cities being abandoned, and became for plunder and for trampling to the surrounding nations being left behind.
36:5On account of this, thus says the Lord the lord; Assuredly by fire of my rage I spoke against the remaining nations, and against all Edom; for they gave my land to themselves for a possession with gladness, dishonoring lives, to obliterate in plunder.
36:6On account of this, prophesy over the land of Israel! and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the ravines, and to the groves! Thus says the lord; Behold, I in my zeal and in my rage spoke against your scorning which nations bore to you.
36:7On account of this, thus says the Lord the lord; I shall lift my hand against the nations, the ones surrounding you; these shall bear their dishonor.
36:8But your grape and your fruit my people shall eat O mountains of Israel; for they are hoping to come.
36:9For behold, I am for you, and I will look upon you, and you shall be worked and sown.
36:10And I will multiply upon you men, all the house of Israel to the end. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the place being made desolate shall be built.
36:11And I will multiply upon you men and cattle; and they shall be multiplied, and they shall be increased. And I will settle you as the time in your beginning. And I will do you good as the things prior of you. And you shall know that I am the lord.
36:12And I will engender unto you men against my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you will be to them for a possession, and in no way shall you be added still to be made childless of them.
36:13Thus says the Lord the lord; Because they said to you, O her devouring men, and you were made childless by your nation.
36:14On account of this no longer shall you devour men, and you shall not make your nation childless any more, says the Lord the lord.
36:15And dishonor of nations shall not be heard any longer against you. And the scorning of peoples no way shall you bear any more, and your nation shall not be childless still, says the Lord the lord.
36:16And the word of the lord came to me, saying,
36:17O son of man, the house of Israel dwelt upon their land, and they defiled it by their way, and by their uncleannesses; and according to the uncleanness of a woman sitting apart was their way before my face.
36:18And I poured out my rage upon them for the blood of which they poured out upon the land; and in their abominations they tainted it.
36:19And I scattered them into the nations, and winnowed them into the places. According to their way and according to their sin I judged them.
36:20And they entered unto the nations of which they entered there. And they profaned my holy name in the saying of them, These are the people of the lord, and they went forth from out of his land.
36:21And I spared them on account of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations of which they entered there.
36:22On account of this, say to the house of Israel! Thus says the Lord the lord; Not to you do I act, O house of Israel, but because of my holy name which you profaned among the nations of which you entered there.
36:23And I will sanctify my great name being profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them. And the nations shall know that I am the lord, says the Lord the lord, in my being sanctified among you before their eyes.
36:24And I will take you from out of the nations, and I will gather you from out of all the lands, and I will bring you into your land.
36:25And I will sprinkle upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your uncleannesses; and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
36:26And I will put in you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you, and I will remove the stone heart from your flesh, and I will give to you a heart of flesh.
36:27And I will put my spirit in you, and I shall make it that you shall go by my ordinances, and you shall keep my judgments, and you shall observe them.
36:28And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me for a people, and I will be to you for God.
36:29And I will deliver you from out of all your uncleannesses. And I will call for the grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not appoint famine unto you.
36:30And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the produce of the field, so that you should not take still the scorn of famine among the nations.
36:31And you shall remember your evil ways, and your practices, the ones not good. And you shall loathe in front of them in your lawless deeds, and for your abominations.
36:32Not for your sakes do I do this, says the Lord the lord, it is made known to you. Be ashamed and feel remorse for your ways, O house of Israel!
36:33Thus says the Lord the lord; In the day in which I shall cleanse you from out of all your lawless deeds, even I will settle the cities and desolate places shall be built up.
36:34And the land having been obliterated shall be worked; for reason that being obliterated according to the eyes of all traveling by.
36:35And they shall say, That land, the one being obliterated was become as a garden of luxury; and the cities -- the desolate and ones having been obliterated, and having been razed, they sat fortified.
36:36And the nations shall know, as many as might be left behind round about you, that I the lord built up the places having been demolished; and I planted the places having been obliterated. For I the lord spoke, and I will act.
36:37Thus says the Lord the lord; Again for this I shall be sought by the house of Israel to deal with them; I will multiply them -- men as sheep,
36:38as holy sheep, as sheep of Jerusalem in her holiday feasts; thus the desolate cities will be full of sheep of men. And they shall know that I am the lord.
