But you, O mountains of Israel, you will ^(j)put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come.

For, behold, I am for you, and I will ^(k)turn to you, and you will be ^(l)cultivated and sown.

I will multiply men on you, ^(m)all the house of Israel, all of it; and the ⁽ⁿ⁾cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be rebuilt.

I will multiply on you man and beast; and they will increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as you were ^(o)formerly and will ^[g]treat you ^(p)better than at the first. Thus you will know that I am the Lord .

Yes, I will cause ^(q)men—My people Israel—to walk on you and possess you, so that you will become their ^(r)inheritance and never again ^(s)bereave them of children.'

"Thus says the Lord God , ‘Because they say to you, "You are a ^(t)devourer of men and have bereaved your ^[h]nation of children,"

therefore you will no longer devour men and no longer bereave your nation of children,' declares the Lord God .

"I will not let you hear ^(u)insults from the nations anymore, nor will you bear ^(v)disgrace from the peoples any longer, nor will you cause your nation to ^(w)stumble any longer," declares the Lord God .'"
