Ezekiel 36:8-15

“ ‘But you, mountains of Israel, will grow branches and fruit for my people, who will soon come home. I am concerned about you; I am on your side. You will be plowed, and seed will be planted in you. I will increase the number of people who live on you, all the people of Israel. The cities will have people living in them, and the ruins will be rebuilt. I will increase the number of people and animals living on you. They will grow and have many young. You will have people living on you as you did before, and I will make you better off than at the beginning. Then you will know that I am the LORD. I will cause my people Israel to walk on you and own you, and you will belong to them. You will never again take their children away from them. “ ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: People say about you, “You eat people and take children from your nation.” But you will not eat people anymore or take away the children, says the Lord GOD. I will not make you listen to insults from the nations anymore; you will not suffer shame from them anymore. You will not cause your nation to fall anymore, says the Lord GOD.’ ”
