8. “But the mountains of Israel will produce heavy crops of fruit for my people—for they will be coming home again soon!
9. See, I care about you, and I will pay attention to you. Your ground will be plowed and your crops planted.
10. I will greatly increase the population of Israel, and the ruined cities will be rebuilt and filled with people.
11. I will increase not only the people, but also your animals. O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before. Then you will know that I am the lord.
