Ezekiel

³²Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord GOD be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel. ³³Thus saith the Lord GOD In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. ³⁴And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by. ³⁵And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fenced and inhabited. ³⁶Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have builded the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it. ³⁷Thus saith the Lord GOD For this moreover will I be inquired of by the house of Israel; to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. ³⁸As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
