‏ Ezekiel 36:1-5

The Mountains of Israel to Be Blessed

1 “Now you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord. 2This is what the Lord
Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the ch
God says: “Since the enemy has spoken against you, ‘Aha!’ and, ‘The everlasting
Heb bamoth
cheights have become our possession,’
3therefore prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “
Lit Because; or By the cause
For good reason they have made you edesolate and harassed you from every side, so that you would become a possession of the rest of the nations; and you have been taken up in the
Lit lip of the tongue
gtalk and the rumor of the people.”’”
4Therefore, you hmountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins and to the abandoned cities which have become iplunder and an object of ridicule to the rest of the nations which are all around-- 5therefore the Lord God says this: “Certainly in the fire of My jjealousy I have spoken against the krest of the nations, and against all Edom, who
Lit gave
appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted mjoy and with contempt of soul, in order to make its pastureland plunder.”
