Ezekiel 36:1
|
|
Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains
of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:2
|
|
Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath
said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession: |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:3
|
|
Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord
God; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side,
that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken
up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people: |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:4
|
|
Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the
word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills,
to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that
are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that
are round about; |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:5
|
|
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in
the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and
against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the
joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:6
|
|
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel,
and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys,
Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,
because ye have borne the shame of the heathen: |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:7
|
|
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I have lifted
up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:8
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:9
|
|
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto
you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:10
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:11
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:12
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:13
|
|
Thus saith the Lord God; Because they say unto
you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations: |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:14
|
|
Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither
bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord God. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:15
|
|
Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the
shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people
any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord
God. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:16
|
|
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:17
|
|
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt
in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their
way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:18
|
|
Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the
blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had
polluted it: |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:19
|
|
And I scattered them among the heathen, and
they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according
to their doings I judged them. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:20
|
|
And when they entered unto the heathen, whither
they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people
of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:21
|
|
But I had pity for mine holy name, which the
house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:22
|
|
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus
saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine
holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:23
|
|
And I will sanctify my great name, which was
profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the
heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified
in you before their eyes. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:24
|
|
For I will take you from among the heathen,
and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:25
|
|
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and
ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse
you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:26
|
|
A new heart also will I give you, and a new
spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your
flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:27
|
|
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause
you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:28
|
|
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to
your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:29
|
|
I will also save you from all your uncleannesses:
and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:30
|
|
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and
the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among
the heathen. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:31
|
|
Then shall ye remember your own evil ways,
and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight
for your iniquities and for your abominations. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:32
|
|
Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord
God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house
of Israel. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:33
|
|
Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall
have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the
cities, and the wastes shall be builded. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:34
|
|
And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas
it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:35
|
|
And they shall say, This land that was desolate
is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities
are become fenced, and are inhabited. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:36
|
|
Then the heathen that are left round about you
shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate:
I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:37
|
|
Thus saith the Lord God; I will yet for this
be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them
with men like a flock. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 36:38
|
|
As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem
in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men:
and they shall know that I am the LORD. |
