2

`Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, "Becauseh3282 the enemyh340 has spokenh559 againsth5921 you, `Ahah1889!' and, `The everlastingh5769  2 aheightsh1116 have becomeh1961 our possessionh4181,'

3

thereforeh3651 prophesyh5012 and sayh559, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, " 1For good reasonh3282 they have madeh8074 you  adesolateh8074 and crushedh7602b you from everyh5439 sideh5439, that you would becomeh1961 a possessionh4181 of the resth7611 of the nationsh1471 and you have been takenh5927 up in the  2 btalkh8193 and the whisperingh1681 of the peopleh5971a.""'

4

`Thereforeh3651, O  amountainsh2022 of Israelh3478, hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the Lordh136 GODh3068. Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068 to the mountainsh2022 and to the hillsh1389, to the ravinesh650 and to the valleysh1516, to the desolateh8074 wastesh2723 and to the forsakenh5800a citiesh5892b whichh834 have becomeh1961 a  bpreyh957 and a derisionh3933 to the resth7611 of the nationsh1471 whichh834 are roundh5439 abouth5439,

5

thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Surelyh518h3808 in the fireh784 of My  ajealousyh7068 I have spokenh1696 againsth5921 the  bresth7611 of the nationsh1471, and againsth5921 allh3605 Edomh112b, whoh834  1appropriatedh5414 My landh776 for themselves as a possessionh4181 with wholeheartedh3605h3824  cjoyh8057 and with scornh7589 of soulh5315, to driveh1644 it out for a preyh957."

6

`Thereforeh3651 prophesyh5012 concerningh5921 the landh127 of Israelh3478 and sayh559 to the mountainsh2022 and to the hillsh1389, to the ravinesh650 and to the valleysh1516, "Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Beholdh2009, I have spokenh1696 in My jealousyh7068 and in My wrathh2534 becauseh3282 you have  aenduredh5375 the insultsh3639 of the nationsh1471.'

7

"Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `I have  1swornh5375h3027 that surelyh518h3808 the nationsh1471 whichh834 are aroundh5439 you will themselvesh1992a endureh5375 their insultsh3639.

8

`But you, O mountainsh2022 of Israelh3478, you will  aputh5414 forth your branchesh6057 and bearh5375 your fruith6529 for My peopleh5971a Israelh3478; for they will soonh7126 comeh935.

9

`For, beholdh2009, I am for you, and I will  aturnh6437 to you, and you will be  bcultivatedh5647 and sownh2232.

10

`I will multiplyh7235a menh120 on you,  aallh3605 the househ1004 of Israelh3478, allh3605 of it; and the  bcitiesh5892b will be inhabitedh3427 and the wasteh2723 placesh2723 will be rebuilth1129.

11

`I will multiplyh7235a on you manh120 and beasth929; and they will increaseh7235a and be fruitfulh6509; and I will cause you to be inhabitedh3427 as you were  aformerlyh6927 and will  1treath3190 you  bbetterh3190 thanh4480 at the firsth7221. Thus you will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068.

12

`Yes, I will cause  amenh120--My peopleh5971a Israelh3478--to walkh1980 on you and possessh3423 you, so that you will becomeh1961 their  binheritanceh5159 and neverh3808h5750 againh3254  cbereaveh7921 them of childrenh7921.'

13

"Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Becauseh3282 they sayh559 to you, "You are a  adevourerh398 of menh120 and have bereavedh7921 your  1nationh1471 of childrenh7921,"

14

thereforeh3651 you will noh3808 longerh5750 devourh398 menh120 and noh3808 longerh5750 bereaveh7921 your nationh1471 of childrenh7921,' declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.

15

"I will not let you hearh8085  ainsultsh3639 from the nationsh1471 anymoreh5750, norh3808 will you bearh5375  bdisgraceh2781 from the peoplesh5971a anyh5750 longerh5750, norh3808 will you cause your nationh1471 to  cstumbleh3782 anyh5750 longerh5750," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.' "

16

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me sayingh559,

17

"Sonh1121 of manh120, when the househ1004 of Israelh3478 was livingh3427 in their own landh127, they  adefiledh2930 it by their waysh1870 and their deedsh5949; their wayh1870 beforeh6440 Me was like  bthe uncleannessh2932a of a woman in her impurityh5079.

18

"Therefore I  apouredh8210 out My wrathh2534 on them for the bloodh1818 whichh834 they had shedh8210 on the landh776, because they had defiledh2930 it with their idolsh1544.

19

"Also I  ascatteredh6327a them among the nationsh1471 and they were dispersedh2219 throughout the landsh776.  bAccording to their waysh1870 and their deedsh5949 I judgedh8199 them.

20

"When they cameh935 to the nationsh1471 whereh834h8033 they wenth935, they  aprofanedh2490c My holyh6944 nameh8034, because it was saidh559 of them, `Theseh428 are the  bpeopleh5971a of the LORDh3068; yet they have comeh3381 out of His landh776.'

21

"But I had  1concernh2550 for My  aholyh6944 nameh8034, whichh834 the househ1004 of Israelh3478 had profanedh2490c among the nationsh1471 whereh834h8033 they wenth935.

Israel to Be Renewed for His Name's Sake

22

"Thereforeh3651 sayh559 to the househ1004 of Israelh3478, `Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "It is  anot for your sakeh4616, O househ1004 of Israelh3478, that I am about to acth6213a, but for My holyh6944 nameh8034, whichh834 you have profanedh2490c among the nationsh1471 whereh834h8033 you wenth935.

23

"I will  avindicateh6942 the holinessh6942 of My greath1419 nameh8034 which has been profanedh2490c among the nationsh1471, whichh834 you have profanedh2490c in their midsth8432. Then the  bnationsh1471 will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "when I proveh6942 Myself holyh6942 among you in their sighth5869.

24

"For I will  atakeh3947 you from the nationsh1471, gatherh6908 you from allh3605 the landsh776 and bringh935 you into your own landh127.

25

"Then I will  asprinkleh2236b cleanh2889 waterh4325 on you, and you will be cleanh2891; I will cleanseh2891 you from allh3605 your  bfilthinessh2932a and from allh3605 your  cidolsh1544.

26

"Moreover, I will giveh5414 you a  anewh2319 hearth3820 and puth5414 a newh2319 spirith7307 withinh7130 you; and I will removeh5493 the  bhearth3820 of stoneh68 from your fleshh1320 and giveh5414 you a hearth3820 of fleshh1320.

27

"I will  aputh5414 My Spirith7307 withinh7130 you and causeh6213a you to walkh1980 in My statutesh2706, and you will be carefulh8104 to observeh6213a My ordinancesh4941.

28

"You will liveh3427 in the landh776 that I gaveh5414 to your forefathersh1; so you will be  aMy peopleh5971a, and I will be your Godh430.

29

"Moreover, I will saveh3467 you from allh3605 your uncleannessh2932a; and I will callh7121 for the grainh1715 and multiplyh7235a it, and I  awill not  1bringh5414 a famineh7458 on you.

30

"I will  amultiplyh7235a the fruith6529 of the treeh6086 and the produceh8570 of the fieldh7704, soh4616 that you will not receiveh3947 againh5750 the disgraceh2781 of famineh7458 among the nationsh1471.

31

"Then you will  arememberh2142 your evilh7451a waysh1870 and your deedsh4611 that were not goodh2896a, and you will loatheh6962a yourselves in your own sighth6440 for your iniquitiesh5771 and your abominationsh8441.

32

"I am not doingh6213a this  afor your sakeh4616," declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "let it be knownh3045 to you. Be ashamedh954 and confoundedh3637 for your waysh1870, O househ1004 of Israelh3478!"

33

`Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "On the dayh3117 that I cleanseh2891 you from allh3605 your iniquitiesh5771, I will cause the  acitiesh5892b to be inhabitedh3427, and the  bwasteh2723 placesh2723 will be rebuilth1129.

34

"The desolateh8074 landh776 will be cultivatedh5647 insteadh8478 of beingh1961 a desolationh8077 in the sighth5869 of everyoneh3605 who passesh5674a by.

35

"They will sayh559, `Thish1976 desolateh8074 landh776 has becomeh1961 like the  agardenh1588 of Edenh5731; and the wasteh2720b, desolateh8074 and ruinedh2040 citiesh5892b are fortifiedh1219 and inhabitedh3427.'

36

"Then the nationsh1471 that are lefth7604 roundh5439 abouth5439 you will knowh3045 that I, the LORDh3068, have rebuilth1129 the ruinedh2040 places and plantedh5193 that which was desolateh8074; I, the LORDh3068, have spokenh1696 and  awill doh6213a it."

37

`Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, "Thish2088 alsoh5750 I will let the househ1004 of Israelh3478 askh1875 Me to doh6213a for them: I will increaseh7235a their menh120 like a flockh6629.

38

"Like the  aflockh6629  1for sacrificesh6944, like the flockh6629 at Jerusalemh3389 during her appointedh4150 feastsh4150, soh3651 will the wasteh2720b citiesh5892b be filledh4392 with  bflocksh6629 of menh120. Then they will knowh3045 that I am the LORDh3068.""'
