8. “‘But you, mountains of Israel, you will shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit for My people Israel; for their return is near.
9. For behold, I am for you. I will turn to you. You will be tilled and sown.
10. I will settle a large population upon you—the whole house of Israel, all of it. The cities will be inhabited. The desolate places will be built up.
11. I will multiply man and beast upon you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before. I will do better for you than at your beginnings. You will know that I am Adonai.
