Ezekiel 36:29-38 ▼

29 And I will deliver you⁺ from all your⁺ uncleannesses, and I will call for the grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not put famine upon you⁺.

30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you⁺ will no longer receive the reproach of famine among the nations.

31 And you⁺ will remember your⁺ evil ways and your⁺ deeds that were not good, and you⁺ will loathe in your⁺ faces over your⁺ iniquities and over your⁺ abominations.

32 It is not for your⁺ sake that I am doing this, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, let it be known to you⁺. Be ashamed and disgraced for your⁺ ways, O house of Israel!

33 Thus says the Lord YHWH: On the day of My cleansing you⁺ from all your⁺ iniquities, I will make you dwell in the cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt.

34 And the land that was desolate will be tilled, instead of that it has been a desolation before the eyes of all passing by.

35 And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the ruined cities, desolate and overthrown, are fortified and they are inhabited.’

36 And the nations that remain all around you⁺ will know that I, YHWH, have rebuilt the ruins, and I have replanted what was desolate. I, YHWH, have spoken, and I will do it.

37 Thus says the Lord YHWH: Again in this I will be sought out by the house of Israel, to do this for them; I will increase them like a flock of people.

38 Like a flock of consecration, like the flock at Jerusalem on its feast s, so the ruined cities will be filled with a flock of people. And they will know that I am YHWH.”
