31. And you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourself over your iniquities and over your detestable things.
32. But not for your sake am I acting,” declares the Lord Yahweh. “Let it be known to you, be ashamed, and be put to shame because of your ways, house of Israel.
33. “Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘On the day when I cleanse you from all of your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
34. And the land that was desolate will be cultivated in the very place that it was desolate before the eyes of all of the persons crossing over.
35. And they will say, “This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden, and the wasted and desolate and destroyed cities, now being refortified, are inhabited.”
