36:1 "And
you,
son
of
man,
prophesy
to
the
mountains
of
Israel,
and
say,
O
mountains
of
Israel,
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD.
36:2 Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Because
the
enemy
said
of
you,
'Aha!'
and,
'The
ancient
heights
have
become
our
possession,'
36:3 therefore
prophesy,
and
say,
Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Precisely
because
they
made
you
desolate
and
crushed
you
from
all
sides,
so
that
you
became
the
possession
of
the
rest
of
the
nations,
and
you
became
the
talk
and
evil
gossip
of
the
people,
36:4 therefore,
O
mountains
of
Israel,
hear
the
word
of
the
Lord
GOD:
Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD
to
the
mountains
and
the
hills,
the
ravines
and
the
valleys,
the
desolate
wastes
and
the
deserted
cities,
which
have
become
a
prey
and
derision
to
the
rest
of
the
nations
all
around,
36:5 therefore
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Surely
I
have
spoken
in
my
hot
jealousy
against
the
rest
of
the
nations
and
against
all
Edom,
who
gave
my
land
to
themselves
as
a
possession
with
wholehearted
joy
and
utter
contempt,
that
they
might
make
its
pasturelands
a
prey.
36:6 Therefore
prophesy
concerning
the
land
of
Israel,
and
say
to
the
mountains
and
hills,
to
the
ravines
and
valleys,
Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Behold,
I
have
spoken
in
my
jealous
wrath,
because
you
have
suffered
the
reproach
of
the
nations.
36:7 Therefore
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
I
swear
that
the
nations
that
are
all
around
you
shall
themselves
suffer
reproach.
36:8 "But
you,
O
mountains
of
Israel,
shall
shoot
forth
your
branches
and
yield
your
fruit
to
my
people
Israel,
for
they
will
soon
come
home.
36:9 For
behold,
I
am
for
you,
and
I
will
turn
to
you,
and
you
shall
be
tilled
and
sown.
36:10 And
I
will
multiply
people
on
you,
the
whole
house
of
Israel,
all
of
it.
The
cities
shall
be
inhabited
and
the
waste
places
rebuilt.
36:11 And
I
will
multiply
on
you
man
and
beast,
and
they
shall
multiply
and
be
fruitful.
And
I
will
cause
you
to
be
inhabited
as
in
your
former
times,
and
will
do
more
good
to
you
than
ever
before.
Then
you
will
know
that
I
am
the
LORD.
36:12 I
will
let
people
walk
on
you,
even
my
people
Israel.
And
they
shall
possess
you,
and
you
shall
be
their
inheritance,
and
you
shall
no
longer
bereave
them
of
children.
36:13 Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Because
they
say
to
you,
'You
devour
people,
and
you
bereave
your
nation
of
children,'
36:14 therefore
you
shall
no
longer
devour
people
and
no
longer
bereave
your
nation
of
children,
declares
the
Lord
GOD.
36:15 And
I
will
not
let
you
hear
anymore
the
reproach
of
the
nations,
and
you
shall
no
longer
bear
the
disgrace
of
the
peoples
and
no
longer
cause
your
nation
to
stumble,
declares
the
Lord
GOD."
36:16 The
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me:
36:17 "Son
of
man,
when
the
house
of
Israel
lived
in
their
own
land,
they
defiled
it
by
their
ways
and
their
deeds.
Their
ways
before
me
were
like
the
uncleanness
of
a
woman
in
her
menstrual
impurity.
36:18 So
I
poured
out
my
wrath
upon
them
for
the
blood
that
they
had
shed
in
the
land,
for
the
idols
with
which
they
had
defiled
it.
36:19 I
scattered
them
among
the
nations,
and
they
were
dispersed
through
the
countries.
In
accordance
with
their
ways
and
their
deeds
I
judged
them.
36:20 But
when
they
came
to
the
nations,
wherever
they
came,
they
profaned
my
holy
name,
in
that
people
said
of
them,
'These
are
the
people
of
the
LORD,
and
yet
they
had
to
go
out
of
his
land.'
36:21 But
I
had
concern
for
my
holy
name,
which
the
house
of
Israel
had
profaned
among
the
nations
to
which
they
came.
36:22 "Therefore
say
to
the
house
of
Israel,
Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
It
is
not
for
your
sake,
O
house
of
Israel,
that
I
am
about
to
act,
but
for
the
sake
of
my
holy
name,
which
you
have
profaned
among
the
nations
to
which
you
came.
36:23 And
I
will
vindicate
the
holiness
of
my
great
name,
which
has
been
profaned
among
the
nations,
and
which
you
have
profaned
among
them.
And
the
nations
will
know
that
I
am
the
LORD,
declares
the
Lord
GOD,
when
through
you
I
vindicate
my
holiness
before
their
eyes.
36:24 I
will
take
you
from
the
nations
and
gather
you
from
all
the
countries
and
bring
you
into
your
own
land.
36:25 I
will
sprinkle
clean
water
on
you,
and
you
shall
be
clean
from
all
your
uncleannesses,
and
from
all
your
idols
I
will
cleanse
you.
36:26 And
I
will
give
you
a
new
heart,
and
a
new
spirit
I
will
put
within
you.
And
I
will
remove
the
heart
of
stone
from
your
flesh
and
give
you
a
heart
of
flesh.
36:27 And
I
will
put
my
Spirit
within
you,
and
cause
you
to
walk
in
my
statutes
and
be
careful
to
obey
my
rules.
36:28 You
shall
dwell
in
the
land
that
I
gave
to
your
fathers,
and
you
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
your
God.
36:29 And
I
will
deliver
you
from
all
your
uncleannesses.
And
I
will
summon
the
grain
and
make
it
abundant
and
lay
no
famine
upon
you.
36:30 I
will
make
the
fruit
of
the
tree
and
the
increase
of
the
field
abundant,
that
you
may
never
again
suffer
the
disgrace
of
famine
among
the
nations.
36:31 Then
you
will
remember
your
evil
ways,
and
your
deeds
that
were
not
good,
and
you
will
loathe
yourselves
for
your
iniquities
and
your
abominations.
36:32 It
is
not
for
your
sake
that
I
will
act,
declares
the
Lord
GOD;
let
that
be
known
to
you.
Be
ashamed
and
confounded
for
your
ways,
O
house
of
Israel.
36:33 "Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
On
the
day
that
I
cleanse
you
from
all
your
iniquities,
I
will
cause
the
cities
to
be
inhabited,
and
the
waste
places
shall
be
rebuilt.
36:34 And
the
land
that
was
desolate
shall
be
tilled,
instead
of
being
the
desolation
that
it
was
in
the
sight
of
all
who
passed
by.
36:35 And
they
will
say,
'This
land
that
was
desolate
has
become
like
the
garden
of
Eden,
and
the
waste
and
desolate
and
ruined
cities
are
now
fortified
and
inhabited.'
36:36 Then
the
nations
that
are
left
all
around
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
LORD;
I
have
rebuilt
the
ruined
places
and
replanted
that
which
was
desolate.
I
am
the
LORD;
I
have
spoken,
and
I
will
do
it.
36:37 "Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
This
also
I
will
let
the
house
of
Israel
ask
me
to
do
for
them:
to
increase
their
people
like
a
flock.
36:38 Like
the
flock
for
sacrifices,
like
the
flock
at
Jerusalem
during
her
appointed
feasts,
so
shall
the
waste
cities
be
filled
with
flocks
of
people.
Then
they
will
know
that
I
am
the
LORD."
