Ezekiel 36:2-4

Expanded Bible

² This is what the Lord God says: The enemy has said about you, “[^LAha!] ·Now the old places to worship gods [The ancient heights] have become ·ours [^Lour possession].”’ ³ So prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Lord God says: They have made you an ·empty ruin [desolation] and have crushed you from all around. So you became a possession of the ·other [rest of the] nations. People have ·talked [gossiped] and ·whispered [slandered] against you. ⁴ So, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God. The Lord God speaks to the mountains, hills, ravines, and valleys, to the ·empty ruins [desolate wasteland] and abandoned cities that have ·been ·robbed [plundered] and ·laughed at [ridiculed; derided] by the other nations.
