[1] You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, “You mountains of Israel, hear Yahweh’s word. [2] The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in possession!” ’ [3] therefore prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;” [4] therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around; [5] therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.” ’ [6] Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations.” [7] Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “I have sworn, ‘Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame.’ [8] “ ‘ “But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come. [9] For, behold, I am for you, and I will come to you, and you will be tilled and sown. [10] I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be built. [11] I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am Yahweh. [12] Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.” [13] “ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;’ [14] therefore you shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” says the Lord Yahweh. [15] “I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ” [16] Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [17] “Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity. [18] Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols. [19] I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds. [20] When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are Yahweh’s people, and have left his land.’ [21] But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went. [22] “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went. [23] I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh,” says the Lord Yahweh, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes. [24] “ ‘ “For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. [25] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. [26] I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. [27] I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them. [28] You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God. [29] I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you. [30] I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations. [31] “ ‘ “Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. [32] I don’t do this for your sake,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel.” [33] “ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built. [34] The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who passed by. [35] They will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The waste, desolate, and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’ [36] Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, Yahweh, have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and I will do it.” [37] “ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock. [38] As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
King James Version
[1] Also, thou son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) unto the mountains H2022 of Israel, H3478 and say, H559 (QalPerf) Ye mountains H2022 of Israel, H3478 hear H8085 (QalImpv) the word H1697 of the Lord: H3068 [2] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Because the enemy H341 (QalActPtc) hath said H559 (QalPerf) against you, Aha, H1889 even the ancient H5769 high places H1116 are our’s in possession: H4181 [3] therefore prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) and say, H559 (QalPerf) Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Because they have§ made you desolate, H8074 (QalInf) and swallowed you up H7602 (QalInf) on every side, H5439 that ye might be a possession H4181 unto the residue H7611 of the heathen, H1471 and ye are taken up H5927 (NiphImpf) in the lips H8193§ of talkers, H3956 and are an infamy H1681 of the people: H5971 [4] therefore, ye mountains H2022 of Israel, H3478 hear H8085 (QalImpv) the word H1697 of the Lord H136 God; H3069 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God H3069 to the mountains, H2022 and to the hills, H1389 to the rivers, H650§ and to the valleys, H1516 to the desolate H8074 (QalActPtc) wastes, H2723 and to the cities H5892 that are forsaken, H5800 (NiphPtc) which became a prey H957 and derision H3933 to the residue H7611 of the heathen H1471 that are round about; H5439 [5] therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Surely in the fire H784 of my jealousy H7068 have I spoken H1696 (PielPerf) against the residue H7611 of the heathen, H1471 and against all Idumea, H123 which have appointed H5414 (QalPerf) my land H776 into their possession H4181 with the joy H8057 of all their heart, H3824 with despiteful H7589 minds, H5315 to cast it out H4054 for a prey. H957 [6] Prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) therefore concerning the land H127 of Israel, H3478 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto the mountains, H2022 and to the hills, H1389 to the rivers, H650 and to the valleys, H1516 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) in my jealousy H7068 and in my fury, H2534 because ye have borne H5375 (QalPerf) the shame H3639 of the heathen: H1471 [7] therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 I have lifted up H5375 (QalPerf) mine hand, H3027 Surely the heathen H1471 that are about H5439 you, they shall bear H5375 (QalImpf) their shame. H3639 [8] But ye, O mountains H2022 of Israel, H3478 ye shall shoot forth H5414 (QalImpf) your branches, H6057 and yield H5375 (QalImpf) your fruit H6529 to my people H5971 of Israel; H3478 for they are at hand H7126 (PielPerf) to come. H935 (QalInf) [9] For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn H6437 (QalPerf) unto you, and ye shall be tilled H5647 (NiphPerf) and sown: H2232 (NiphPerf) [10] and I will multiply H7235 (HiphPerf) men H120 upon you, all the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 even all of it: and the cities H5892 shall be inhabited, H3427 (NiphPerf) and the wastes H2723 shall be builded: H1129 (NiphImpf) [11] and I will multiply H7235 (HiphPerf) upon you man H120 and beast; H929 and they shall increase H7235 (QalPerf) and bring fruit: H6509 (QalPerf) and I will settle H3427 (HiphPerf) you after your old estates, H6927 and will do better H2895 (HiphPerf) unto you than at your beginnings: H7221 and ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord. H3068 [12] Yea, I will cause men H120 to walk H3212 (HiphPerf) upon you, even my people H5971 Israel; H3478 and they shall possess H3423 (QalPerf) thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, H5159 and thou shalt no more H3254 (HiphImpf) henceforth bereave H7921 (PielInf) them of men. [13] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Because they say H559 (QalActPtc) unto you, Thou land devourest up H398 (QalActPtc) men, H120 and hast bereaved H7921 (PielPtc) thy nations; H1471 [14] therefore thou shalt devour H398 (QalImpf) men H120 no more, neither bereave H7921 (PielImpf)§ thy nations H1471 any more, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [15] Neither will I cause men to hear H8085 (HiphImpf) in thee the shame H3639 of the heathen H1471 any more, neither shalt thou bear H5375 (QalImpf) the reproach H2781 of the people H5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations H1471 to fall H3782 (HiphImpf) any more, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God.

[16] Moreover the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [17] Son H1121 of man, H120 when the house H1004 of Israel H3478 dwelt H3427 (QalActPtc) in their own land, H127 they defiled H2930 (PielImpf) it by their own way H1870 and by their doings: H5949 their way H1870 was before H6440 me as the uncleanness H2932 of a removed woman. H5079 [18] Wherefore I poured H8210 (QalImpf) my fury H2534 upon them for the blood H1818 that they had shed H8210 (QalPerf) upon the land, H776 and for their idols H1544 wherewith they had polluted H2930 (PielPerf) it: [19] and I scattered H6327 (HiphImpf) them among the heathen, H1471 and they were dispersed H2219 (NiphImpf) through the countries: H776 according to their way H1870 and according to their doings H5949 I judged H8199 (QalPerf) them. [20] And when they entered H935 (QalImpf) unto the heathen, H1471 whither they went, H935 (QalPerf) they profaned H2490 (PielImpf) my holy H6944 name, H8034 when they said H559 (QalInf) to them, These are the people H5971 of the Lord, H3068 and are gone forth H3318 (QalPerf) out of his land. H776 [21] But I had pity H2550 (QalImpf) for mine holy H6944 name, H8034 which the house H1004 of Israel H3478 had profaned H2490 (PielPerf) among the heathen, H1471 whither they went. H935 (QalPerf) [22] Therefore say H559 (QalImpv) unto the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 I do H6213 (QalActPtc) not this for your sakes, O house H1004 of Israel, H3478 but for mine holy H6944 name’s H8034 sake, which ye have profaned H2490 (PielPerf) among the heathen, H1471 whither ye went. H935 (QalPerf) [23] And I will sanctify H6942 (PielPerf) my great H1419 name, H8034 which was profaned H2490 (PualPtc) among the heathen, H1471 which ye have profaned H2490 (PielPerf) in the midst H8432 of them; and the heathen H1471 shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord, H3068 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God, H3069 when I shall be sanctified H6942 (NiphInf) in you before their§ eyes. H5869 [24] For I will take H3947 (QalPerf) you from among H4480 the heathen, H1471 and gather H6908 (PielPerf) you out of all countries, H776 and will bring H935 (HiphPerf) you into your own land. H127 [25] Then will I sprinkle H2236 (QalPerf) clean H2889 water H4325 upon you, and ye shall be clean: H2891 (QalPerf) from all your filthiness, H2932 and from all your idols, H1544 will I cleanse H2891 (PielImpf) you. [26] A new H2319 heart H3820 also will I give H5414 (QalPerf) you, and a new H2319 spirit H7307 will I put H5414 (QalImpf) within H7130 you: and I will take away H5493 (HiphPerf) the stony H68 heart H3820 out of your flesh, H1320 and I will give H5414 (QalPerf) you an heart H3820 of flesh. H1320 [27] And I will put H5414 (QalImpf) my spirit H7307 within H7130 you, and cause H6213 (QalPerf) you to walk H3212 (QalImpf) in my statutes, H2706 and ye shall keep H8104 (QalImpf) my judgments, H4941 and do H6213 (QalPerf) them. [28] And ye shall dwell H3427 (QalPerf) in the land H776 that I gave H5414 (QalPerf) to your fathers; H1 and ye shall be my people, H5971 and I will be your God. H430 [29] I will also save H3467 (HiphPerf) you from all your uncleannesses: H2932 and I will call H7121 (QalPerf) for the corn, H1715 and will increase H7235 (HiphPerf) it, and lay H5414 (QalImpf) no famine H7458 upon you. [30] And I will multiply H7235 (HiphPerf) the fruit H6529 of the tree, H6086 and the increase H8570 of the field, H7704 that ye shall receive H3947 (QalImpf) no more reproach H2781 of famine H7458 among the heathen. H1471 [31] Then shall ye remember H2142 (QalPerf) your own evil H7451 ways, H1870 and your doings H4611 that were not good, H2896 and shall lothe H6962 (NiphPerf) yourselves in your own sight H6440 for your iniquities H5771 and for your abominations. H8441 [32] Not for your sakes do H6213 (QalActPtc) I this, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God, H3069 be it known H3045 (NiphImpf) unto you: be ashamed H954 (QalImpv) and confounded H3637 (NiphImpv) for your own ways, H1870 O house H1004 of Israel. H3478 [33] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 In the day H3117 that I shall have cleansed H2891 (PielInf) you from all your iniquities H5771 I will also cause you to dwell H3427 (HiphPerf) in the cities, H5892 and the wastes H2723 shall be builded. H1129 (NiphPerf) [34] And the desolate H8074 (NiphPtc) land H776 shall be tilled, H5647 (NiphImpf) whereas it lay desolate H8077 in the sight H5869 of all that passed by. H5674 (QalActPtc) [35] And they shall say, H559 (QalPerf) This H1977 land H776 that was desolate H8074 (NiphPtc) is become like the garden H1588 of Eden; H5731 and the waste H2720 and desolate H8074 (NiphPtc) and ruined H2040 (NiphPtc) cities H5892 are become fenced, H1219 (QalPasPtc) and are inhabited. H3427 (QalPerf) [36] Then the heathen H1471 that are left H7604 (NiphImpf) round about H5439 you shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I the Lord H3068 build H1129 (QalPerf) the ruined H2040 (NiphPtc) places, and plant H5193 (QalPerf) that that was desolate: H8074 (NiphPtc) I the Lord H3068 have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it, and I will do H6213 (QalPerf) it. [37] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 I will yet for this be enquired H1875 (NiphImpf) of by the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 to do H6213 (QalInf) it for them; I will increase H7235 (HiphImpf) them with men H120 like a flock. H6629 [38] As the holy H6944 flock, H6629§ as the flock H6629 of Jerusalem H3389 in her solemn feasts; H4150 so shall the waste H2720 cities H5892 be filled H4392 with flocks H6629 of men: H120 and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord.
