Ezekiel 36:2-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 This is what the Lord God says: Because the enemy has said about you, ‘Good!(A) The ancient heights(B) have become our possession,’ 3 therefore, prophesy and say: This is what the Lord God says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you from every side, so that you became a possession for the rest of the nations and an object of people’s gossip and slander,(C) 4 therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become plunder(D) and a mockery to the rest of the nations all around.
5 “This is what the Lord God says: Certainly in My burning zeal I speak against the rest of the nations and all of Edom,(E) who took[a] My land as their own possession with wholehearted rejoicing and utter contempt(F) so that its pastureland became[b] plunder.

2 This is what the Sovereign Lord says:(A) The enemy said of you, “Aha!(B) The ancient heights(C) have become our possession.(D)”’ 3 Therefore prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because they ravaged(E) and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people’s malicious talk and slander,(F) 4 therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys,(G) to the desolate ruins(H) and the deserted(I) towns that have been plundered and ridiculed(J) by the rest of the nations around you(K)— 5 this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning(L) zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’(M)

Ezekiel 36:2-5
King James Version
2 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
