English Translation

Therefore, hear, O mountains of Israel, the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and to the hills, to the valleys and to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that have been forsaken, which became a prey and a derision to the residue of the nations that are all around.
