28 ^sAnd I will make the land a desolation and a waste, and ^ther proud might shall come to an end, and ^uthe mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that none will pass through.

13 And I will bring them out from the peoples ^aand gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on ^bthe mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 ^cI will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. ^dThere they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.

12 And you shall know that I am the Lord.

^b“I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; ^cthey are given us to devour.’

Prophecy to the Mountains of Israel

1 “And you, ⁱson of man, prophesy to ^jthe mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord.

4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God to ^pthe mountains and the hills, the ravines and the valleys, ^qthe desolate wastes and the deserted cities, which have become ^ra prey and derision to the rest of the nations all around,

8 “But you, O mountains of Israel, ^ashall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for ^bthey will soon come home.

22 And ⁿI will make them one nation in the land, on ^othe mountains of Israel. And ^pone king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer ^qtwo nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms.

8 ^cAfter many days you will be mustered. ^dIn the latter years you will go against ^dthe land that is restored from war, the land whose people ^ewere gathered from many peoples upon ^fthe mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and ^gnow dwell securely, all of them.

2 ^wAnd I will turn you about and drive you forward,¹ and bring you up from ^xthe uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the ^ymountains of Israel.

4 ^aYou shall fall on ^ythe mountains of Israel, you and all your ^bhordes and the peoples who are with you. ^cI will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

17 “As for you, ^zson of man, thus says the Lord God: ^aSpeak to ^bthe birds of every sort and to ^ball beasts of the field: ‘Assemble and come, gather from all around to ^cthe sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood.
