RF EZE 36:1 A message to the hills of Israel.
"But now, Son of Adam, preach to the Mountains of Israel, and say, Mountains of Israel! listen to a message from the EVER-LIVING.
RF EZE 36:2 Thus says the Mighty Lord! Because your enemies say, 'Ah, Ah,' at you, 'the everlasting hills will be our possessions,'
RF EZE 36:3 therefore proclaim and say, Thus says the Mighty Lord! Although they have ravaged and worried you all round, to make you a province of broken nations, and to bring you on to the end of the tongue as a contemptible People,—
RF EZE 36:4 therefore, Mountains of Israel! listen to the message of the Mighty Lord! The Mighty Lord says to the Mountains, and to the Hills, and to the Valleys and Dales, and to the Waste Heaps of Ashes, and to the Deserted Cities, that were plundered, and laughed at by the broken nations around you;"
RF EZE 36:5 thus says the Mighty Lord, "I will promise in the fire of My indignation against the broken nations, and against Edom; all of them who assigned My land to themselves as a possession, with a delighted heart and a malignant mind, that they should be a subject of plunder.—
RF EZE 36:6 Therefore proclaim to the soil of Israel, and tell the Mountains, and Hills, and Valleys and Dales,—thus says the Mighty Lord, I promise you in My indignation and anger,—because you have borne the insults of the heathen,—
RF EZE 36:7 therefore," thus says the Mighty Lord, "I have raised My hand,—that the heathen around you shall bear their own disgrace!
RF EZE 36:8 But you, Mountains of Israel! shall grow trees and bear fruit for My People Israel, when they are ready to come!
RF EZE 36:9 For I am with you, and will turn towards you, and you will be cultivated and sown,
RF EZE 36:10 and I will increase a population from all of the House of Israel, who will return to the burnt-up cities and rebuild them.
RF EZE 36:11 For I will increase men and cattle upon you, and you will increase and breed, to your ancient population, and I will benefit you more than formerly. Then you will learn that I am the EVER-LIVING,
RF EZE 36:12 when I bring the men of My People Israel to you, who will possess you, and you shall be their estates, and you shall never again be bereaved."
RF EZE 36:13 Thus says the Mighty Lord! "Because they say to you, 'You devour men, and have been a destroyer of your population!'
RF EZE 36:14 Therefore you shall not again devour your population, nor again be bereaved of your population," says the Mighty Lord.
RF EZE 36:15 "And I will no more startle you by the insult of the heathen, and you shall no more bear the reproach of the Peoples,—for you shall not be bereft of your population again," the Mighty Lord declares.
RF EZE 36:16 The message of the EVER-LIVING came again to me to say:
RF EZE 36:17 "Son of Adam! when the House of Israel resided in their own country they defiled it by their conduct, and idols,—their conduct before me was like that of a depraved loose woman;
RF EZE 36:18 so I poured My indignation upon them, because of the blood they shed upon the earth, and its defilement by idols.
RF EZE 36:19 I also scattered them amongst the heathen, and littered them in the countries;—I punished them for their ways and practices.
RF EZE 36:20 But upon arriving amongst the heathen where they were sent, they degraded My Holy Name, by saying to them, 'These are the People of the EVER-LIVING! but they have been put out from His country!'
RF EZE 36:21 I however have regard to My Holy Name, which the House of Israel have degraded amongst the heathen where they wander;—
RF EZE 36:22 therefore tell the House of Israel, Thus says the Mighty Lord! I will not effect this for your sakes, House of Israel, but for MY Holy Name which you have degraded amongst the heathen to whom you have come.
RF EZE 36:23 I intend to sanctify My greatly degraded Name amongst the heathen, which you degraded amongst them,—so that the heathen may learn that I am the EVER-LIVING." the Mighty Lord declares, "by My making Myself sacred in their eyes, through you!
RF EZE 36:24 Then I will bring you from the heathen, and collect you from all the countries, and bring you to your own soil,
RF EZE 36:25 and wash you with pure water, and purify you from all your corruptions, and cleanse you from your idolatries,
RF EZE 36:26 and give you a new heart, and put a new spirit in your breast; and remove the heart of stone from your body, and place in you a heart of flesh,
RF EZE 36:27 and put My spirit into your breast, and cause you to walk according to My institutions and regard and practice My Decrees.
RF EZE 36:28 Then I will restore you to the country I gave to your ancestors, and you shall be My people, and I will be your God,
RF EZE 36:29 and rescue you from all your corruptions,—and call to the corn, and increase it, and not lay famine upon you.
RF EZE 36:30 I will also increase the fruit of the trees, and the products of the fields, so that the reproach of famine will no more be brought against you by the heathen.
RF EZE 36:31 Then you will reflect on your wicked ways, and bad conduct, and be despicable in your own sight, because of your sins and depravities.
RF EZE 36:32 I shall not do this for your sakes," the Mighty Lord declares;—"let yourselves know that;—and be ashamed and feel the disgrace of your conduct, House of Israel."
RF EZE 36:33 The Mighty Lord says thus, "In the time when I cleanse you from all your passions and restore you to your cities, and you rebuild the burnt ruins;
RF EZE 36:34 and the desolate land that was a waste to the eyes of all who passed through it, is again cultivated,
RF EZE 36:35 they will ask, 'How has this country, that was a desert, become like the Garden of Eden? and its burnt and desolate and broken-down cities inhabited fortresses?'
RF EZE 36:36 Then the fragments of the heathen around will recognize that I, the EVER-LIVING, have rebuilt the ruins, and planted the waste. I, the EVER-LIVING, have promised, and will perform it!"
RF EZE 36:37 Thus says the Mighty Lord, "Yet I must be requested by the House of Israel to do this. Then I will increase population for them like sheep,—
RF EZE 36:38 like blessed sheep they shall be,—like sheep in Jerusalem at her fairs. The burnt cities shall be full of men like flocks,—and they shall learn that I am the Ever-LIVING!"
