Ezekiel
Ezekiel 36:9–11
9For behold, I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown. 10I will multiply the people upon you — the house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. 11I 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.
