American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. And thou[H1121], son of man[H120], prophesy[H5012] unto the mountains[H2022] of Israel[H3478], and say[H559], Ye mountains[H2022] of Israel[H3478], hear[H8085] the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068].

2. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Because the enemy[H341] hath said[H559] against you[H1889], Aha! and[H5769], The ancient high places[H1116] are ours in possession[H4181];

3. therefore prophesy[H5012], and say[H559], Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Because[H8074], even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up[H7602] on every side[H5439], that ye might be a possession[H4181] unto the residue[H7611] of the nations[H1471], and ye are taken up[H5927] in the lips[H8193] of talkers[H3956], and the evil report[H1681] of the people[H5971];

4. therefore[H2022], ye mountains of Israel[H3478], hear[H8085] the word[H1697] of the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136] to the mountains[H2022] and to the hills[H1389], to the watercourses[H650] and to the valleys[H1516], to the desolate[H8074] wastes[H2723] and to the cities[H5892] that are forsaken[H5800], which are become a prey[H957] and derision[H3933] to the residue[H7611] of the nations[H1471] that are round about[H5439];

5. therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: Surely in the fire[H784] of my jealousy[H7068] have I spoken[H1696] against the residue[H7611] of the nations[H1471], and against all Edom[H123], that have appointed[H5414] my land[H776] unto themselves for a possession[H4181] with the joy[H8057] of all their heart[H3824], with despite[H7589] of soul[H3824], to cast it out[H4054] for a prey[H957].

6. Therefore prophesy[H5012] concerning the land[H127] of Israel[H3478], and say[H559] unto the mountains[H2022] and to the hills[H1389], to the watercourses[H650] and to the valleys[H1516], Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Behold[H1696], I have spoken in my jealousy[H7068] and in my wrath[H2534], because ye have borne[H5375] the shame[H3639] of the nations[H1471]:

7. therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: I have[H5375] sworn[H3027], saying[H1471], Surely the nations that are round about[H5439] you[H5375], they shall bear their shame[H3639].

8. But ye[H2022], O mountains of Israel[H3478], ye shall shoot forth[H5414] your branches[H6057], and yield[H5375] your fruit[H6529] to my people[H5971] Israel[H3478]; for they are at hand[H7126] to come[H935].

9. For[H6437], behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you[H5647], and ye shall be tilled and sown[H2232];

10. and I will multiply[H7235] men[H120] upon you[H1004], all the house of Israel[H3478], even all of it[H5892]; and the cities shall be inhabited[H3427], and the waste[H2723] places shall be builded[H1129];

11. and I will multiply[H7235] upon you man[H120] and beast[H929]; and they shall increase[H7235] and be fruitful[H6509]; and I will cause you to be inhabited[H3427] after your former estate[H6927], and will do better[H2895] unto you than at your beginnings[H7221]: and ye shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068].

12. Yea[H120], I will cause men to walk[H3212] upon you[H5971], even my people Israel[H3478]; and they shall possess[H3423] thee[H5159], and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more[H3254] henceforth bereave them of children[H7921].

13. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Because they say[H559] unto you[H398], Thou land art a devourer of men[H120], and hast been a bereaver[H7921] of thy nation[H1471];

14. therefore thou shalt devour[H398] men[H120] no more[H7921], neither bereave thy nation[H1471] any more[H5002], saith the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069];

15. neither will I let thee hear[H8085] any more the shame[H3639] of the nations[H1471], neither shalt thou bear[H5375] the reproach[H2781] of the peoples[H5971] any more[H1471], neither shalt thou cause thy nation to stumble[H3782] any more[H5002], saith the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].

16. Moreover the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,

17. Son[H1121] of man[H120], when the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] dwelt[H3427] in their own land[H127], they defiled[H2930] it by their way[H1870] and by their doings[H5949]: their way[H1870] before[H6440] me was as the uncleanness[H2932] of a woman in her impurity[H5079].

18. Wherefore I poured[H8210] out my wrath[H2534] upon them for the blood[H1818] which they had poured[H8210] out upon the land[H776], and because they had defiled[H2930] it with their idols[H1544];

19. and I scattered[H6327] them among the nations[H1471], and they were dispersed[H2219] through the countries[H776]: according to their way[H1870] and according to their doings[H5949] I judged them[H8199].

20. And when they came[H935] unto the nations[H1471], whither they went[H935], they profaned[H2490] my holy[H6944] name[H8034]; in that men said[H559] of them[H5971], These are the people of Jehovah[H3068], and are gone forth[H3318] out of his land[H776].

21. But I had regard[H2550] for my holy[H6944] name[H8034], which the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478] had profaned[H2490] among the nations[H1471], whither they went[H935].

22. Therefore say[H559] unto the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: I do[H6213] not this for your sake[H1004], O house of Israel[H3478], but for my holy[H6944] name[H8034], which ye have profaned[H2490] among the nations[H1471], whither ye went[H935].

23. And I will sanctify[H6942] my great[H1419] name[H8034], which hath been profaned[H2490] among the nations[H1471], which ye have profaned[H2490] in the midst[H8432] of them[H1471]; and the nations shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068], saith[H5002] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3068], when I shall be sanctified[H6942] in you before their eyes[H5869].

24. For I will take[H3947] you from among[H4480] the nations[H1471], and gather[H6908] you out of all the countries[H776], and will bring[H935] you into your own land[H127].

25. And I will sprinkle[H2236] clean[H2889] water[H4325] upon you[H2891], and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness[H2932], and from all your idols[H1544], will I cleanse you[H2891].

26. A new[H2319] heart[H3820] also will I give[H5414] you[H2319], and a new spirit[H7307] will I put[H5414] within[H7130] you[H5493]; and I will take away the stony[H68] heart[H3820] out of your flesh[H1320], and I will give[H5414] you a heart[H3820] of flesh[H1320].

27. And I will put[H5414] my Spirit[H7307] within[H7130] you[H6213], and cause you to walk[H3212] in my statutes[H2706], and ye shall keep[H8104] mine ordinances[H4941], and do them[H6213].

28. And ye shall dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] that I gave[H5414] to your fathers[H1]; and ye shall be my people[H5971], and I will be your God[H430].

29. And I will save[H3467] you from all your uncleannesses[H2932]: and I will call[H7121] for the grain[H1715], and will multiply[H7235] it[H5414], and lay no famine upon you[H7458].

30. And I will multiply[H7235] the fruit[H6529] of the tree[H6086], and the increase[H8570] of the field[H7704], that ye may receive[H3947] no more the reproach[H2781] of famine[H7458] among the nations[H1471].

31. Then shall ye remember[H2142] your evil[H7451] ways[H1870], and your doings[H4611] that were not good[H2896]; and ye shall loathe[H6962] yourselves in your own sight[H6440] for your iniquities[H5771] and for your abominations[H8441].

32. Not for your sake do[H6213] I this[H5002], saith the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136], be it known[H3045] unto you[H954]: be ashamed and confounded[H3637] for your ways[H1870], O house[H1004] of Israel[H3478].

33. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: In the day[H3117] that I cleanse[H2891] you from all your iniquities[H5771], I will cause the cities[H5892] to be inhabited[H3427], and the waste[H2723] places shall be builded[H1129].

34. And the land[H776] that was desolate[H8074] shall be tilled[H5647], whereas it was a desolation[H8077] in the sight[H5869] of all that passed by[H5674].

35. And they shall say[H559], This[H1977] land[H776] that was desolate[H8074] is become like the garden[H1588] of Eden[H5731]; and the waste[H2720] and desolate[H8074] and ruined[H2040] cities[H5892] are fortified[H1219] and inhabited[H3427].

36. Then the nations[H1471] that are left[H7604] round about[H5439] you shall know[H3045] that I[H3068], Jehovah, have builded[H1129] the ruined[H2040] places[H5193], and planted that which was desolate[H8074]: I[H3068], Jehovah, have spoken[H1696] it[H6213], and I will do it.

37. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: For this[H1875], moreover, will I be inquired of by the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], to do[H6213] it for them[H7235]: I will increase them with men[H120] like a flock[H6629].

38. As the flock[H6629] for sacrifice[H6944], as the flock[H6629] of Jerusalem[H3389] in her appointed feasts[H4150], so shall the waste[H2720] cities[H5892] be filled[H4392] with flocks[H6629] of men[H120]; and they shall know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068].
