Ezekiel 36
11 I will fill you with people and animals, and they will multiply and be fruitful. I will make you as inhabited as you once were, and I will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
12 Yes, I will cause My people Israel to walk upon you; they will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer deprive them of their children.
13 For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’
14 therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.
15 I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”
