36:1 Also, thou son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 8734 unto the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, and say 559 8804, Ye mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068:

36:2 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because the enemy 341 8802 hath said 559 8804 against you, Aha 1889, even the ancient 5769 high places 1116 are ours in possession 4181:

36:3 Therefore prophesy 5012 8734 and say 559 8804, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because they have made [you] desolate 8074 8800, and swallowed you up 7602 8800 on every side 5439, that ye might be a possession 4181 unto the residue 7611 of the heathen 1471, and ye are taken up 5927 8735 in the lips 8193 of talkers 3956, and [are] an infamy 1681 of the people 5971:(Because: Heb. Because for because)(are…: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue)

36:4 Therefore, ye mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 to the mountains 2022, and to the hills 1389, to the rivers 650, and to the valleys 1516, to the desolate 8074 8802 wastes 2723, and to the cities 5892 that are forsaken 5800 8737, which became a prey 957 and derision 3933 to the residue 7611 of the heathen 1471 that [are] round about 5439;(rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales)

36:5 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Surely in the fire 784 of my jealousy 7068 have I spoken 1696 8765 against the residue 7611 of the heathen 1471, and against all Idumea 123, which have appointed 5414 8804 my land 776 into their possession 4181 with the joy 8057 of all [their] heart 3824, with despiteful 7589 minds 5315, to cast it out 4054 for a prey 957.

36:6 Prophesy 5012 8734 therefore concerning the land 127 of Israel 3478, and say 559 8804 unto the mountains 2022, and to the hills 1389, to the rivers 650, and to the valleys 1516, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Behold, I have spoken 1696 8765 in my jealousy 7068 and in my fury 2534, because ye have borne 5375 8804 the shame 3639 of the heathen 1471:

36:7 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; I have lifted up 5375 8804 mine hand 3027, Surely the heathen 1471 that [are] about 5439 you, they shall bear 5375 8799 their shame 3639.

36:8 But ye, O mountains 2022 of Israel 3478, ye shall shoot forth 5414 8799 your branches 6057, and yield 5375 8799 your fruit 6529 to my people 5971 of Israel 3478; for they are at hand 7126 8765 to come 935 8800.

36:9 For, behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn 6437 8804 unto you, and ye shall be tilled 5647 8738 and sown 2232 8738:

36:10 And I will multiply 7235 8689 men 120 upon you, all the house 1004 of Israel 3478, [even] all of it: and the cities 5892 shall be inhabited 3427 8738, and the wastes 2723 shall be builded 1129 8735:

36:11 And I will multiply 7235 8689 upon you man 120 and beast 929; and they shall increase 7235 8804 and bring fruit 6509 8804: and I will settle 3427 8689 you after your old estates 6927, and will do better 2895 8689 [unto you] than at your beginnings 7221: and ye shall know 3045 8804 that I [am] the LORD 3068.

36:12 Yea, I will cause men 120 to walk 3212 8689 upon you, [even] my people 5971 Israel 3478; and they shall possess 3423 8804 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance 5159, and thou shalt no more 3254 8686 henceforth bereave 7921 8763 them [of men].

36:13 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because they say 559 8802 unto you, Thou [land] devourest up 398 8802 men 120, and hast bereaved 7921 8764 thy nations 1471;

36:14 Therefore thou shalt devour 398 8799 men 120 no more, neither bereave 7921 8762 3782 8762 thy nations 1471 any more, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.(bereave: or, cause to fall)

36:15 Neither will I cause [men] to hear 8085 8686 in thee the shame 3639 of the heathen 1471 any more, neither shalt thou bear 5375 8799 the reproach 2781 of the people 5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations 1471 to fall 3782 8686 any more, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

36:16 Moreover the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

36:17 Son 1121 of man 120, when the house 1004 of Israel 3478 dwelt 3427 8802 in their own land 127, they defiled 2930 8762 it by their own way 1870 and by their doings 5949: their way 1870 was before 6440 me as the uncleanness 2932 of a removed woman 5079.

36:18 Wherefore I poured 8210 8799 my fury 2534 upon them for the blood 1818 that they had shed 8210 8804 upon the land 776, and for their idols 1544 [wherewith] they had polluted 2930 8765 it:

36:19 And I scattered 6327 8686 them among the heathen 1471, and they were dispersed 2219 8735 through the countries 776: according to their way 1870 and according to their doings 5949 I judged 8199 8804 them.

36:20 And when they entered 935 8799 unto the heathen 1471, whither they went 935 8804, they profaned 2490 8762 my holy 6944 name 8034, when they said 559 8800 to them, These [are] the people 5971 of the LORD 3068, and are gone forth 3318 8804 out of his land 776.

36:21 But I had pity 2550 8799 for mine holy 6944 name 8034, which the house 1004 of Israel 3478 had profaned 2490 8765 among the heathen 1471, whither they went 935 8804.

36:22 Therefore say 559 8798 unto the house 1004 of Israel 3478, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; I do 6213 8802 not [this] for your sakes, O house 1004 of Israel 3478, but for mine holy 6944 name's 8034 sake, which ye have profaned 2490 8765 among the heathen 1471, whither ye went 935 8804.

36:23 And I will sanctify 6942 8765 my great 1419 name 8034, which was profaned 2490 8794 among the heathen 1471, which ye have profaned 2490 8765 in the midst 8432 of them; and the heathen 1471 shall know 3045 8804 that I [am] the LORD 3068, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, when I shall be sanctified 6942 8736 in you before their eyes 5869.(their: or, your)

36:24 For I will take 3947 8804 you from among 4480 the heathen 1471, and gather 6908 8765 you out of all countries 776, and will bring 935 8689 you into your own land 127.

36:25 Then will I sprinkle 2236 8804 clean 2889 water 4325 upon you, and ye shall be clean 2891 8804: from all your filthiness 2932, and from all your idols 1544, will I cleanse 2891 8762 you.

36:26 A new 2319 heart 3820 also will I give 5414 8804 you, and a new 2319 spirit 7307 will I put 5414 8799 within 7130 you: and I will take away 5493 8689 the stony 68 heart 3820 out of your flesh 1320, and I will give 5414 8804 you an heart 3820 of flesh 1320.

36:27 And I will put 5414 8799 my spirit 7307 within 7130 you, and cause 6213 8804 you to walk 3212 8799 in my statutes 2706, and ye shall keep 8104 8799 my judgments 4941, and do 6213 8804 [them].

36:28 And ye shall dwell 3427 8804 in the land 776 that I gave 5414 8804 to your fathers 1; and ye shall be my people 5971, and I will be your God 430.

36:29 I will also save 3467 8689 you from all your uncleannesses 2932: and I will call 7121 8804 for the corn 1715, and will increase 7235 8689 it, and lay 5414 8799 no famine 7458 upon you.

36:30 And I will multiply 7235 8689 the fruit 6529 of the tree 6086, and the increase 8570 of the field 7704, that ye shall receive 3947 8799 no more reproach 2781 of famine 7458 among the heathen 1471.

36:31 Then shall ye remember 2142 8804 your own evil 7451 ways 1870, and your doings 4611 that [were] not good 2896, and shall lothe 6962 8738 yourselves in your own sight 6440 for your iniquities 5771 and for your abominations 8441.

36:32 Not for your sakes do 6213 8802 I [this], saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, be it known 3045 8735 unto you: be ashamed 954 8798 and confounded 3637 8734 for your own ways 1870, O house 1004 of Israel 3478.

36:33 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; In the day 3117 that I shall have cleansed 2891 8763 you from all your iniquities 5771 I will also cause [you] to dwell 3427 8689 in the cities 5892, and the wastes 2723 shall be builded 1129 8738.

36:34 And the desolate 8074 8737 land 776 shall be tilled 5647 8735, whereas it lay desolate 8077 in the sight 5869 of all that passed by 5674 8802.

36:35 And they shall say 559 8804, This 1977 land 776 that was desolate 8074 8737 is become like the garden 1588 of Eden 5731; and the waste 2720 and desolate 8074 8737 and ruined 2040 8737 cities 5892 [are become] fenced 1219 8803, [and] are inhabited 3427 8804.

36:36 Then the heathen 1471 that are left 7604 8735 round about 5439 you shall know 3045 8804 that I the LORD 3068 build 1129 8804 the ruined 2040 8737 [places, and] plant 5193 8804 that that was desolate 8074 8737: I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 8765 [it], and I will do 6213 8804 [it].

36:37 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; I will yet [for] this be enquired 1875 8735 of by the house 1004 of Israel 3478, to do 6213 8800 [it] for them; I will increase 7235 8686 them with men 120 like a flock 6629.

36:38 As the holy 6944 flock 6629, as the flock 6629 of Jerusalem 3389 in her solemn feasts 4150; so shall the waste 2720 cities 5892 be filled 4392 with flocks 6629 of men 120: and they shall know 3045 8804 that I [am] the LORD 3068.(holy…: Heb. flock of holy things)
