Ezekiel 36:1Easy To Read Version“Son of man, {\cf2\super [277]} speak to the mountains of Israel for me. Tell the mountains of Israel to listen to the word of the Lord! See the chapter |
Say to the Negev Forest, ‘Listen to the word of the Lord. The Lord my Master said these things: Look, I am ready to start a fire in your forest. The fire will destroy every green tree and every dry tree. The flame that burns won’t be put out. All the land from south to north will be burned by the fire.
After a long time you will be called for duty. In the later years you will come into the land that has been healed from war. The people in that land were gathered from many nations and brought back to the mountains of Israel. In the past, the mountains of Israel had been destroyed again and again. But these people will have come back from those other nations. They all will have lived in safety.
I will also gather all the nations together. I will bring all these nations down into Jehoshaphat Valley. {\cf2\super [24]} There I will judge them. Those nations scattered my people, Israel. They forced them to live in other nations. So I will punish those nations. Those nations divided up my land.
