Ezekiel 36:3-6
36:3 So prophesy and say: ‘This is what the sovereign
Lord says: Surely because they have made you desolate and crushed you from all directions, so that you have become the property of the rest of the nations, and have become the subject of gossip
and slander among the people,
36:4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the sovereign
Lord: This is what the sovereign
Lord says to the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, and to the desolate ruins and the abandoned cities that have become prey and an object of derision to the rest of the nations round about –
36:5 therefore this is what the sovereign
Lord says: Surely I have spoken in the fire of my zeal against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who with great joy and utter contempt have made my land their property and prey, because of its pasture.’
36:6 “Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I have spoken in my zeal and in my anger, because you have endured the insults of the nations.
Ezekiel 36:15
36:15 I will no longer subject you to
the nations’ insults; no longer will you bear the shame of the peoples, and no longer will you bereave
your nation, declares the sovereign
Lord.’”
