1The Lord said:
Ezekiel, son of man, tell the mountains of Israel
2that I, the Lord God, am saying:
Your enemies sneered and said that you mountains belonged to them.
3They ruined and crushed you from every side, and foreign nations captured and made fun of you.
4So all you mountains and hills, streams and valleys, listen to what I will do. Your towns may now lie in ruins, and nations may laugh and insult you.
5But in my fierce anger, I will turn against those nations, and especially the Edomites, because they laughed at you the loudest and took over your pasturelands.
6You have suffered long enough, and, I, the Lord God, am very angry! Nations have insulted you,
7so I will now insult and disgrace them. That is my solemn promise.
8Trees will grow on you mountains of Israel and produce fruit for my people, because they will soon come home.
9I will take care of you by plowing your soil and planting crops on your fertile slopes.
10The people of Israel will return and rebuild your ruined towns and live in them.
11Children will be born, and animals will give birth to their young. You will no longer be deserted as you are now, but you will be covered with people and treated better than ever. Then you will know that I am the Lord .
12I will bring my people Israel home, and they will live on you mountains, because you belong to them, and your fertile slopes will never again let them starve.
13It's true that you have been accused of not producing enough food and of letting your people starve.
14-15But I, the Lord , promise that you won't hear other nations laugh and sneer at you ever again. From now on, you will always produce plenty of food for your people. I, the Lord God, have spoken.
16The Lord said:
17Ezekiel, son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own country, they made the land unclean by the way they behaved, just as a woman's monthly period makes her unclean.
18They committed murders and worshiped idols, which made the land even worse. So in my anger, I punished my people
19and scattered them throughout the nations, just as they deserved.
20Wherever they went, my name was disgraced, because foreigners insulted my people by saying I had forced them out of their own land.
21I care what those foreigners think of me,
22so tell the Israelites that I am saying:
