Ezekiel 36:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Thus says the Lord God, The enemy has gloated over you, saying: “Aha! These ancient heights have become our possession.”

³ In reply, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Since you have been ravaged and hounded from all sides, and thus have become the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people’s gossip and slander, ⁴ therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God and what the Lord God says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and the deserted towns which have been plundered and have become a source of ridicule to the surrounding nations.
