8 “ ‘You, mountains of Israel, will produce your branchesv and bear your fruit for my people Israel, since their arrival is near. 9 Look! I am on your side; I will turn toward you,w and you will be tilled and sown. 10 I will fill you with people, with the whole house of Israel in its entirety.a The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. 11 I will fill you with people and animals,b and they will increase and be fruitful. I will make you inhabited as you once were and make you better off than you were before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.c 12 I will cause people, my people Israel, to walk on you; they will possess you,d and you will be their inheritance. You will no longer deprive them of their children.
