36:8. But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your
branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at
hand to come.
36:9. For I, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be
ploughed and sown.
36:10. And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel:
and the cities ball be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be
repaired.
36:11. And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they
shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the
beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the
beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
36:12. And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall
possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance,
and shalt no more henceforth be without them.
36:13. Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy say of you: Thou art a
devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:
36:14. Therefore thou shalt devour men no more nor destroy thy nation
any more, saith the Lord God.
36:15. Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations
any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy
nation any more, saith the Lord God.
Nor lose thy nation any more... This whole promise principally relates
to the church of Christ, and God's perpetual protection of her: for as
to the carnal Jews, they have been removed out of their land these
sixteen hundred years.
36:16. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
36:17. Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land,
they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was
before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.
36:18. And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which
they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.
36:19. And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed
through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and
their devices.
36:20. And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they
profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of
the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land.
36:21. And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel
hath profaned among the nations to which they went in.
36:22. Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the
Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of
Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the
nations whither you went.
36:23. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the
Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the
Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I
shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
36:24. For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you
together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own
land.
36:25. And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed
from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
36:26. And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give
you a heart of flesh.
36:27. And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause
you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
36:28. And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and
you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
