Ezechiel 36:28-38 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

28. And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29. And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.

30. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the held, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

31. And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.

32. It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel.

33. Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places,

34. And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by,

35. They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced.

36. And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.

37. Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,

38. As a holy dock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
