Ezekiel 36:1-5 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. The Lord said:Ezekiel, son of man, tell the mountains of Israel

2. that I, the Lord God, am saying:Your enemies sneered and said that you mountains belonged to them.

3. They ruined and crushed you from every side, and foreign nations captured and made fun of you.

4. So all you mountains and hills, streams and valleys, listen to what I will do. Your towns may now lie in ruins, and nations may laugh and insult you.

5. But in my fierce anger, I will turn against those nations, and especially the Edomites, because they laughed at you the loudest and took over your pasture lands.

14-15. But I, the Lord, promise that you won't hear other nations laugh and sneer at you ever again. From now on, you will always produce plenty of food for your people. I, the Lord God, have spoken.
