Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto athe mountains of Israel, band say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord: 2 Thus saith the Lord God; Because cthe enemy hath said against you, dAha, even ethe ancient high places fare ours in possession: 3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; †Because they have made you desolate, and gswallowed you up on every side, fthat ye might be a possession unto hthe residue of the heathen, iand ||ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and iare an infamy of the people: 4 Therefore, aye mountains of Israel, bhear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God klto the mountains, and lto the hills, lto the ||rivers, and lto the valleys, to nthe desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, owhich became pa prey and qderision to hthe residue of othe heathen that are round about; 5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely rin the fire of smy jealousy have I spoken against hthe residue of the heathen, and against ctall Idumea, fwhich have appointed my land into their possession twith the joy of all their heart, uwith despiteful minds, to cast it out pfor a prey. 6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say lunto the mountains, and lto the hills, lto the rivers, and lto the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, sI have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because vye have borne wthe shame of the heathen: 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I have xlifted up mine hand, ySurely the heathen that are about you, vthey shall bear their shame.

8 But ye, aO mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your zbranches, and yield your zfruit to my people of Israel; for athey are at hand to come. 9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye bshall be tilled and sown: 10 And cI will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and dthe cities shall be inhabited, and dethe wastes shall be builded: 11 And cI will multiply upon you fman and beast; and gthey shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after hyour old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: iand ye shall know that I am the Lord. 12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and jthey shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth kbereave them of men. 13 Thus saith the Lord God; Because they say unto you, lThou land devourest up men, and hast kbereaved thy nations; 14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither ||kbereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord God. 15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee mthe 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.
