6. Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the rivers and to the valleys: Thus says the Lord God: I have spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations.
7. Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up My hand that surely the nations who are about you shall themselves bear their invectives.
8. But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit for My people Israel. For they shall come soon.
9. For I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown.
10. And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
11. And I will multiply man and beast upon you. And they shall increase and bring forth fruit. AndI will settle you as you were before and do better to you than at the beginning. Thus you shall know that I am the Lord.
12. Indeed, I will cause men to walk upon you, My people Israel, and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no longer bereave them of children.
13. Thus says the Lord God: Because they say to you, “You are a devourer of men and have bereaved your nation of children,”
14. therefore you shall devour men no more or bereave your nation of children anymore, says the Lord God.
15. Nor will I cause men to hear in you the invectives of the nations anymore, nor shall you bear the reproach of the peoples anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to fall anymore, says the Lord God.
