31
Then shall ye remember your own evilways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32
Not for your sakes do I this, saith the LordGOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33
Thus saith the LordGOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded .
34
And the desolateland shall be tilled , whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by .
35
And they shall say , Thisland that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruinedcities are become fenced , and are inhabited .
36
Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORDbuild the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate : I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
37
Thus saith the LordGOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
38
As the holyflock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the wastecities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
