'But as for you, mountains of Israel, you will grow your branches and bear fruit for My people Israel; for they are about to come.

But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

'For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be cultivated and sown.

For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:

'And I will multiply people on you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities will be inhabited and the ruins will be rebuilt.

And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

'I will multiply on you people and animals, and they will increase and be fruitful; and I will populate you as you were previously, and treat you better than at the beginning. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord .

'Yes, I will have people—My people Israel—walk on you and possess you, so that you will become their inheritance and never again bereave them of children.'

Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
