10. I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited, and the waste places will be built.
11. I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
12. Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.”
13. “‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;’
14. therefore you shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” says the Lord GOD.
15. “I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord GOD.’”
