WEB·Ezekiel 37

¹Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in Yahweh’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.

KJVThe hand^H3027 of the LORD^H3068 was upon me, and carried me out^H3318^(H8686) in the spirit^H7307 of the LORD^H3068, and set me down^H5117^(H8686) in the midst^H8432 of the valley^H1237 which was full^H4392 of bones^H6106,

² He caused me to pass by them all around; and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and behold, they were very dry.

KJVAnd caused me to pass^H5674^(H8689) by them round about^H5439: and, behold, there were very^H3966 many^H7227 in the open^H6440 valley^H1237; and, lo, they were very^H3966 dry^H3002.

³ He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799) unto me, Son^H1121 of man^H120, can these bones^H6106 live^H2421^(H8799)? And I answered^H559^(H8799), O Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, thou knowest^H3045^(H8804).

⁴ Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.

KJVAgain he said^H559^(H8799) unto me, Prophesy^H5012^(H8734) upon these bones^H6106, and say^H559^(H8804) unto them, O ye dry^H3002 bones^H6106, hear^H8085^(H8798) the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068.

⁵ The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 unto these bones^H6106; Behold, I will cause breath^H7307 to enter^H935^(H8688) into you, and ye shall live^H2421^(H8804):

⁶ I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”’”

KJVAnd I will lay^H5414^(H8804) sinews^H1517 upon you, and will bring up^H5927^(H8689) flesh^H1320 upon you, and cover^H7159^(H8804) you with skin^H5785, and put^H5414^(H8804) breath^H7307 in you, and ye shall live^H2421^(H8804); and ye shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.

⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.

KJVSo I prophesied^H5012^(H8738) as I was commanded^H6680^(H8795): and as I prophesied^H5012^(H8736), there was a noise^H6963, and behold a shaking^H7494, and the bones^H6106 came together^H7126^(H8799), bone^H6106 to his bone^H6106.

⁸ I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.

KJVAnd when I beheld^H7200^(H8804), lo, the sinews^H1517 and the flesh^H1320 came up^H5927^(H8804) upon them, and the skin^H5785 covered^H7159^(H8799) them above^H4605: but there was no breath^H7307 in them.

⁹ Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) he unto me, Prophesy^H5012^(H8734) unto the wind^H7307, prophesy^H5012^(H8734), son^H1121 of man^H120, and say^H559^(H8804) to the wind^H7307, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Come^H935^(H8798) from the four^H702 winds^H7307, O breath^H7307, and breathe^H5301^(H8798) upon these slain^H2026^(H8803), that they may live^H2421^(H8799).

¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

KJVSo I prophesied^H5012^(H8694) as he commanded^H6680^(H8765) me, and the breath^H7307 came^H935^(H8799) into them, and they lived^H2421^(H8799), and stood up^H5975^(H8799) upon their feet^H7272, an exceeding^H3966^H3966 great^H1419 army^H2428.

¹¹ Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely cut off.’

KJVThen he said^H559^(H8799) unto me, Son^H1121 of man^H120, these bones^H6106 are the whole house^H1004 of Israel^H3478: behold, they say^H559^(H8802), Our bones^H6106 are dried^H3001^(H8804), and our hope^H8615 is lost^H6^(H8804): we are cut off^H1504^(H8738) for our parts.

¹² Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

KJVTherefore prophesy^H5012^(H8734) and say^H559^(H8804) unto them, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, O my people^H5971, I will open^H6605^(H8802) your graves^H6913, and cause you to come up^H5927^(H8689) out of your graves^H6913, and bring^H935^(H8689) you into the land^H127 of Israel^H3478.

¹³ You will know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.

KJVAnd ye shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068, when I have opened^H6605^(H8800) your graves^H6913, O my people^H5971, and brought you up^H5927^(H8687) out of your graves^H6913,

¹⁴ I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,” says Yahweh.’”

KJVAnd shall put^H5414^(H8804) my spirit^H7307 in you, and ye shall live^H2421^(H8804), and I shall place^H3240^(H8689) you in your own land^H127: then shall ye know^H3045^(H8804) that I the LORD^H3068 have spoken^H1696^(H8765) it, and performed^H6213^(H8804) it, saith^H5002^(H8803) the LORD^H3068.

¹⁵ Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,

KJVThe word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came again unto me, saying^H559^(H8800),

¹⁶ “You, son of man, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.’ Then take another stick, and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions.’

KJVMoreover, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, take^H3947^(H8798) thee one^H259 stick^H6086, and write^H3789^(H8798) upon it, For Judah^H3063, and for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 his companions^H2270: then take^H3947^(H8798) another^H259 stick^H6086, and write^H3789^(H8798) upon it, For Joseph^H3130, the stick^H6086 of Ephraim^H669, and for all the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 his companions^H2270:

¹⁷ Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.

KJVAnd join^H7126^(H8761) them one^H259 to another^H259 into one^H259 stick^H6086; and they shall become one^H259 in thine hand^H3027.

¹⁸ “When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’

KJVAnd when the children^H1121 of thy people^H5971 shall speak^H559^(H8799) unto thee, saying^H559^(H8800), Wilt thou not shew^H5046^(H8686) us what thou meanest by these?

¹⁹ tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.

KJVSay^H1696^(H8761) unto them, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I will take^H3947^(H8802) the stick^H6086 of Joseph^H3130, which is in the hand^H3027 of Ephraim^H669, and the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478 his fellows^H2270, and will put^H5414^(H8804) them with him, even with the stick^H6086 of Judah^H3063, and make^H6213^(H8804) them one^H259 stick^H6086, and they shall be one^H259 in mine hand^H3027.

²⁰ The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’

KJVAnd the sticks^H6086 whereon thou writest^H3789^(H8799) shall be in thine hand^H3027 before their eyes^H5869.

²¹ Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.

KJVAnd say^H1696^(H8761) unto them, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I will take^H3947^(H8802) the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 from among^H996 the heathen^H1471, whither they be gone^H1980^(H8804), and will gather^H6908^(H8765) them on every side^H5439, and bring^H935^(H8689) them into their own land^H127:

²² I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

KJVAnd I will make^H6213^(H8804) them one^H259 nation^H1471 in the land^H776 upon the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478; and one^H259 king^H4428 shall be king^H4428 to them all: and they shall be^H5750 no more two^H8147 nations^H1471, neither shall they be divided^H2673^(H8735) into two^H8147 kingdoms^H4467 any more at all:

²³ They won’t defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they will be my people, and I will be their God.

KJVNeither shall they defile^H2930^(H8691) themselves any more with their idols^H1544, nor with their detestable things^H8251, nor with any of their transgressions^H6588: but I will save^H3467^(H8689) them out of all their dwellingplaces^H4186, wherein they have sinned^H2398^(H8804), and will cleanse^H2891^(H8765) them: so shall they be my people^H5971, and I will be their God^H430.

²⁴ “‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, and do them.

KJVAnd David^H1732 my servant^H5650 shall be king^H4428 over them; and they all shall have one^H259 shepherd^H7462^(H8802): they shall also walk^H3212^(H8799) in my judgments^H4941, and observe^H8104^(H8799) my statutes^H2708, and do^H6213^(H8804) them.

²⁵ They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever.

KJVAnd they shall dwell^H3427^(H8804) in the land^H776 that I have given^H5414^(H8804) unto Jacob^H3290 my servant^H5650, wherein your fathers^H1 have dwelt^H3427^(H8804); and they shall dwell^H3427^(H8804) therein, even they, and their children^H1121, and their children's^H1121 children^H1121 for ever^H5769: and my servant^H5650 David^H1732 shall be their prince^H5387 for^H5704 ever^H5769.

²⁶ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.

KJVMoreover I will make^H3772^(H8804) a covenant^H1285 of peace^H7965 with them; it shall be an everlasting^H5769 covenant^H1285 with them: and I will place^H5414^(H8804) them, and multiply^H7235^(H8689) them, and will set^H5414^(H8804) my sanctuary^H4720 in the midst^H8432 of them for evermore^H5769.

²⁷ My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

KJVMy tabernacle^H4908 also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God^H430, and they shall be my people^H5971.

²⁸ The nations will know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.”’”

KJVAnd the heathen^H1471 shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I the LORD^H3068 do sanctify^H6942^(H8764) Israel^H3478, when my sanctuary^H4720 shall be in the midst^H8432 of them for evermore^H5769.

WEB·Ezekiel 36

¹You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, “You mountains of Israel, hear Yahweh’s word.

KJVAlso, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, prophesy^H5012^(H8734) unto the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, and say^H559^(H8804), Ye mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, hear^H8085^(H8798) the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068:

² The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in possession!”’

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Because the enemy^H341^(H8802) hath said^H559^(H8804) against you, Aha^H1889, even the ancient^H5769 high places^H1116 are ours in possession^H4181:

³ therefore prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;”

KJVTherefore prophesy^H5012^(H8734) and say^H559^(H8804), Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Because they have made you desolate^H8074^(H8800), and swallowed you up^H7602^(H8800) on every side^H5439, that ye might be a possession^H4181 unto the residue^H7611 of the heathen^H1471, and ye are taken up^H5927^(H8735) in the lips^H8193 of talkers^H3956, and are an infamy^H1681 of the people^H5971:

⁴ therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;

KJVTherefore, ye mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, hear^H8085^(H8798) the word^H1697 of the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 to the mountains^H2022, and to the hills^H1389, to the rivers^H650, and to the valleys^H1516, to the desolate^H8074^(H8802) wastes^H2723, and to the cities^H5892 that are forsaken^H5800^(H8737), which became a prey^H957 and derision^H3933 to the residue^H7611 of the heathen^H1471 that are round about^H5439;

⁵ therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.”’

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Surely in the fire^H784 of my jealousy^H7068 have I spoken^H1696^(H8765) against the residue^H7611 of the heathen^H1471, and against all Idumea^H123, which have appointed^H5414^(H8804) my land^H776 into their possession^H4181 with the joy^H8057 of all their heart^H3824, with despiteful^H7589 minds^H5315, to cast it out^H4054 for a prey^H957.

⁶ Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations.”

KJVProphesy^H5012^(H8734) therefore concerning the land^H127 of Israel^H3478, and say^H559^(H8804) unto the mountains^H2022, and to the hills^H1389, to the rivers^H650, and to the valleys^H1516, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I have spoken^H1696^(H8765) in my jealousy^H7068 and in my fury^H2534, because ye have borne^H5375^(H8804) the shame^H3639 of the heathen^H1471:

⁷ Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “I have sworn, ‘Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame.’

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; I have lifted up^H5375^(H8804) mine hand^H3027, Surely the heathen^H1471 that are about^H5439 you, they shall bear^H5375^(H8799) their shame^H3639.

⁸ “‘“But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.

KJVBut ye, O mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, ye shall shoot forth^H5414^(H8799) your branches^H6057, and yield^H5375^(H8799) your fruit^H6529 to my people^H5971 of Israel^H3478; for they are at hand^H7126^(H8765) to come^H935^(H8800).

⁹ For, behold, I am for you, and I will come to you, and you will be tilled and sown.

KJVFor, behold, I am for you, and I will turn^H6437^(H8804) unto you, and ye shall be tilled^H5647^(H8738) and sown^H2232^(H8738):

¹⁰ I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be built.

KJVAnd I will multiply^H7235^(H8689) men^H120 upon you, all the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, even all of it: and the cities^H5892 shall be inhabited^H3427^(H8738), and the wastes^H2723 shall be builded^H1129^(H8735):

¹¹ I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

KJVAnd I will multiply^H7235^(H8689) upon you man^H120 and beast^H929; and they shall increase^H7235^(H8804) and bring fruit^H6509^(H8804): and I will settle^H3427^(H8689) you after your old estates^H6927, and will do better^H2895^(H8689) unto you than at your beginnings^H7221: and ye shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.

¹² Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.”

KJVYea, I will cause men^H120 to walk^H3212^(H8689) upon you, even my people^H5971 Israel^H3478; and they shall possess^H3423^(H8804) thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance^H5159, and thou shalt no more^H3254^(H8686) henceforth bereave^H7921^(H8763) them of men.

¹³ “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;’

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Because they say^H559^(H8802) unto you, Thou land devourest up^H398^(H8802) men^H120, and hast bereaved^H7921^(H8764) thy nations^H1471;

¹⁴ therefore you shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” says the Lord Yahweh.

KJVTherefore thou shalt devour^H398^(H8799) men^H120 no more, neither bereave^H7921^(H8762)^H3782^(H8762) thy nations^H1471 any more, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹⁵ “I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

KJVNeither will I cause men to hear^H8085^(H8686) in thee the shame^H3639 of the heathen^H1471 any more, neither shalt thou bear^H5375^(H8799) the reproach^H2781 of the people^H5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations^H1471 to fall^H3782^(H8686) any more, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹⁶ Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

KJVMoreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559^(H8800),

¹⁷ “Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

KJVSon^H1121 of man^H120, when the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 dwelt^H3427^(H8802) in their own land^H127, they defiled^H2930^(H8762) it by their own way^H1870 and by their doings^H5949: their way^H1870 was before^H6440 me as the uncleanness^H2932 of a removed woman^H5079.

¹⁸ Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

KJVWherefore I poured^H8210^(H8799) my fury^H2534 upon them for the blood^H1818 that they had shed^H8210^(H8804) upon the land^H776, and for their idols^H1544 wherewith they had polluted^H2930^(H8765) it:

¹⁹ I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds.

KJVAnd I scattered^H6327^(H8686) them among the heathen^H1471, and they were dispersed^H2219^(H8735) through the countries^H776: according to their way^H1870 and according to their doings^H5949 I judged^H8199^(H8804) them.

²⁰ When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are Yahweh’s people, and have left his land.’

KJVAnd when they entered^H935^(H8799) unto the heathen^H1471, whither they went^H935^(H8804), they profaned^H2490^(H8762) my holy^H6944 name^H8034, when they said^H559^(H8800) to them, These are the people^H5971 of the LORD^H3068, and are gone forth^H3318^(H8804) out of his land^H776.

²¹ But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.

KJVBut I had pity^H2550^(H8799) for mine holy^H6944 name^H8034, which the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 had profaned^H2490^(H8765) among the heathen^H1471, whither they went^H935^(H8804).

²² “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.

KJVTherefore say^H559^(H8798) unto the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; I do^H6213^(H8802) not this for your sakes, O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, but for mine holy^H6944 name's^H8034 sake, which ye have profaned^H2490^(H8765) among the heathen^H1471, whither ye went^H935^(H8804).

²³ I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh,” says the Lord Yahweh, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.

KJVAnd I will sanctify^H6942^(H8765) my great^H1419 name^H8034, which was profaned^H2490^(H8794) among the heathen^H1471, which ye have profaned^H2490^(H8765) in the midst^H8432 of them; and the heathen^H1471 shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, when I shall be sanctified^H6942^(H8736) in you before their eyes^H5869.

²⁴ “‘“For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

KJVFor I will take^H3947^(H8804) you from among^H4480 the heathen^H1471, and gather^H6908^(H8765) you out of all countries^H776, and will bring^H935^(H8689) you into your own land^H127.

²⁵ I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.

KJVThen will I sprinkle^H2236^(H8804) clean^H2889 water^H4325 upon you, and ye shall be clean^H2891^(H8804): from all your filthiness^H2932, and from all your idols^H1544, will I cleanse^H2891^(H8762) you.

²⁶ I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

KJVA new^H2319 heart^H3820 also will I give^H5414^(H8804) you, and a new^H2319 spirit^H7307 will I put^H5414^(H8799) within^H7130 you: and I will take away^H5493^(H8689) the stony^H68 heart^H3820 out of your flesh^H1320, and I will give^H5414^(H8804) you an heart^H3820 of flesh^H1320.

²⁷ I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

KJVAnd I will put^H5414^(H8799) my spirit^H7307 within^H7130 you, and cause^H6213^(H8804) you to walk^H3212^(H8799) in my statutes^H2706, and ye shall keep^H8104^(H8799) my judgments^H4941, and do^H6213^(H8804) them.

²⁸ You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.

KJVAnd ye shall dwell^H3427^(H8804) in the land^H776 that I gave^H5414^(H8804) to your fathers^H1; and ye shall be my people^H5971, and I will be your God^H430.

²⁹ I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.

KJVI will also save^H3467^(H8689) you from all your uncleannesses^H2932: and I will call^H7121^(H8804) for the corn^H1715, and will increase^H7235^(H8689) it, and lay^H5414^(H8799) no famine^H7458 upon you.

³⁰ I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

KJVAnd I will multiply^H7235^(H8689) the fruit^H6529 of the tree^H6086, and the increase^H8570 of the field^H7704, that ye shall receive^H3947^(H8799) no more reproach^H2781 of famine^H7458 among the heathen^H1471.

³¹ “‘“Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

KJVThen shall ye remember^H2142^(H8804) your own evil^H7451 ways^H1870, and your doings^H4611 that were not good^H2896, and shall lothe^H6962^(H8738) yourselves in your own sight^H6440 for your iniquities^H5771 and for your abominations^H8441.

³² I don’t do this for your sake,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel.”

KJVNot for your sakes do^H6213^(H8802) I this, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, be it known^H3045^(H8735) unto you: be ashamed^H954^(H8798) and confounded^H3637^(H8734) for your own ways^H1870, O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478.

³³ “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; In the day^H3117 that I shall have cleansed^H2891^(H8763) you from all your iniquities^H5771 I will also cause you to dwell^H3427^(H8689) in the cities^H5892, and the wastes^H2723 shall be builded^H1129^(H8738).

³⁴ The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.

KJVAnd the desolate^H8074^(H8737) land^H776 shall be tilled^H5647^(H8735), whereas it lay desolate^H8077 in the sight^H5869 of all that passed by^H5674^(H8802).

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

KJVAnd they shall say^H559^(H8804), This^H1977 land^H776 that was desolate^H8074^(H8737) is become like the garden^H1588 of Eden^H5731; and the waste^H2720 and desolate^H8074^(H8737) and ruined^H2040^(H8737) cities^H5892 are become fenced^H1219^(H8803), and are inhabited^H3427^(H8804).

³⁶ Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, Yahweh, have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and I will do it.”

KJVThen the heathen^H1471 that are left^H7604^(H8735) round about^H5439 you shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I the LORD^H3068 build^H1129^(H8804) the ruined^H2040^(H8737) places, and plant^H5193^(H8804) that that was desolate^H8074^(H8737): I the LORD^H3068 have spoken^H1696^(H8765) it, and I will do^H6213^(H8804) it.

³⁷ “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; I will yet for this be enquired^H1875^(H8735) of by the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, to do^H6213^(H8800) it for them; I will increase^H7235^(H8686) them with men^H120 like a flock^H6629.

³⁸ As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

KJVAs the holy^H6944 flock^H6629, as the flock^H6629 of Jerusalem^H3389 in her solemn feasts^H4150; so shall the waste^H2720 cities^H5892 be filled^H4392 with flocks^H6629 of men^H120: and they shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.
