And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear the word of the Lord:

Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen;

but the land into which you go to inherit it is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink the water of the rain of heaven.

Thus says the Lord God: In the day in which I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon;

And they shall say, That desolate land has become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.

And I will stretch out My hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and ruined from the wilderness of Diblah, in all their habitations; [and] you shall know that I am the Lord.

And He brought the king of the Chaldeans against them, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of His sanctuary, and did not spare Zedekiah, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men; He delivered all things into their hands.

And he burned the house of the Lord, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned its palaces with fire, and [utterly destroyed] every beautiful vessel.

that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its Sabbaths in resting, [and] Sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.

And I said, How long, O Lord? And He said, Until cities are deserted by reason of them not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.

Behold, the Lord is about to lay waste the world, and will make it desolate, and will lay bare its surface, and scatter them that dwell therein.

The earth shall be completely laid waste, and the earth shall be utterly spoiled; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.

And she has sinned by reason of her inhabitants; because they have transgressed the law, and changed the ordinances, [even] the everlasting covenant.

The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all the merry-hearted shall sigh.

They are ashamed, they have not drunk wine; strong drink has become bitter to them that drink [it].

There is a howling for the wine everywhere; all the mirth of the land has ceased, all the mirth of the land has departed.

And they shall no more be a spoil to the nations, and the wild beasts of the land shall no more at all devour them; and they shall dwell safely, and there shall be none to make them afraid.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.

The city of Your holiness has become desolate, Zion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.

The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burned with fire; and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.

behold I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it. And I will utterly destroy them, and make them a horror, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.

And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.

And I will bring upon that land all My words which I have spoken against it, [even] all things that are written in this book.

For thus said the Lord: When seventy years shall be on the verge of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm My words to you, to bring back your people to this place.
