Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills and to the vales and forests, ⁷ Thus saith the Lord, Behold in my zeal and my wrath I have spoken; for as much as you have borne the reproach of the nations; therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations around you; they shall bear their own dishonour: ⁸ but your grapes and your fruits, mountains of Israel, shall be eaten by my people. Because they have confident hopes of coming; ⁹ because, lo! I am over you, and I will watch over you; therefore you shall be cultivated and sown: ¹⁰ and upon you I will multiply men even the whole house of Israel; and the cities shall be rebuilt and the wastes inhabited: ¹¹ and upon you I will multiply men and cattle, and cause you to be inhabited as in your former state. And I will deal kindly with you as I did in times of old; and you shall know that I am the Lord. ¹² And I will cause men, my people Israel, to increase upon you; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be a possession for them, and shall no more be without a succession of children from them.
