>>8 But you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot out your

>>whole house of Israel, all of it; the towns shall be
>>inhabited and the waste places rebuilt; 11 and I will
>>multiply human beings and animals upon you. They shall
>>increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be
>>inhabited as in your former times, and will do more
>>good to you than ever before. Then you shall know that
>>I am the LORD. 12 I will lead people upon you--my
>>people Israel--and they shall possess you, and you
>>shall be their inheritance. No longer shall you

>>13 Thus says the Lord God: Because they say to you,
>>"You devour people, and you bereave your nation of

>>people and no longer bereave your nation of children,
>>says the Lord God; 15 and no longer will I let you
>>hear the insults of the nations, no longer shall you
>>bear the disgrace of the peoples; and no longer shall
>>you cause your nation to stumble, says the Lord God.
