9 Look! I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown.
10 I will fill you with people, with the whole house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
11 I will fill you with people and animals, and they will increase and be fruitful. I will make you inhabited as you once were and make you better off than you were before. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
12 I will cause people, My people Israel, to walk on you; they will possess you, and you will be their inheritance. You will no longer deprive them of their children.
13 “This is what the Lord God says: Because people are saying to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of children,’
14 therefore, you will no longer devour men and deprive your nation of children.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
15 “I will no longer allow the insults of the nations to be heard against you, and you will not have to endure the reproach of the peoples anymore; you will no longer cause your nation to stumble.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
