⁷ Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘I have lifted up My hand and sworn [an oath] that the nations that are around you will themselves endure their [shameful] insults. ⁸ But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and bear your fruit to My people Israel; for they will soon come [home]. ⁹ For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you [in favor], and you shall be cultivated and sown.
