But I will remember my covenant with you. I made it with you when you were young. Now I will make a new covenant with you. It will last forever.

Also, I have heard the groans of the Israelites. The Egyptians are keeping them as slaves. But I have remembered my covenant.

Because they were his people, he remembered his covenant. Because of his great love, he felt sorry for them.

God heard their groans. He remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Give thanks to the God who remembered us when things were going badly. His faithful love continues forever.

When the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it. I will remember that my covenant will last forever. It is a covenant between me and every kind of living creature on earth.”

Lord, you were good to your land. You blessed the people of Jacob with great success again.You forgave the evil things your people did. You took away all their sins.

He has been kind to our people of long ago. He has remembered his holy covenant.

I am with you. I will watch over you everywhere you go. And I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

“ Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel. Tell them,‘ Mountains of Israel, listen to the Lord’ s message.The Lord and King says,“ Your enemies made fun of you. They bragged,‘ The hills you lived in for a long time belong to us now.’ ” ’Ezekiel, prophesy. Say,‘ The Lord and King says,“ Your enemies destroyed you. They crushed you from every side. So the rest of the nations took over your land. People talked about you. They told lies about you.” ’ ”Mountains of Israel, listen to the message of the Lord and King. He speaks to you mountains, hills, canyons and valleys. He speaks to you destroyed cities and deserted towns. The rest of the nations around you took away from you everything of value. They made fun of you.So the Lord and King says,“ I am very angry with those nations. I have spoken against them and the whole land of Edom. They were very happy when they took over my land. Deep down inside them, they hated Israel. They wanted to take its grasslands.Ezekiel, prophesy about the land of Israel. Speak to the mountains, hills, canyons and valleys. Tell them,‘ The Lord and King says,“ I have a jealous anger against the nations. They have laughed at you.”So the Lord and King says,“ I raise my hand and make a promise. I promise that the nations around you will also be laughed at.“‘ “Mountains of Israel, you will produce branches and bear fruit for my people Israel. They will come home soon.I am concerned about you. I will do good things for you. Farmers will plow your ground. They will plant seeds in it.I will cause many people to live in Israel. The towns will no longer be empty. Their broken- down houses will be rebuilt.I will cause many people and animals to live in you, Israel. They will have many babies. I will cause people to make their homes in your towns, just as I did in the past. I will help you succeed more than ever before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.I will let my people Israel live there again. They will possess you. They will receive you as their own. You will never take their children away from them again.” ’ ”The Lord and King says,“ People say to you mountains,‘ You destroy people. You let your nation’s children be taken away.’But I will not let you destroy people anymore. I will no longer let your nation’s children be taken away,” announces the Lord and King.“ You will not have to listen to the nations laughing at you anymore. People will no longer make fun of you. You will not let your nation fall,” announces the Lord and King.

The Lord and King says,“ I will make you pure from all your sins. On that day I will give you homes in your towns again. Your broken- down houses will be rebuilt.The dry and empty land will be farmed again. Everyone who passes through it will see that it is no longer empty.

The angel of the Lord called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.He said,“ I am giving you my word that I will bless you. I will bless you because of what you have done,” announces the Lord.“ You have not held back your son, your only son.So I will certainly bless you. I will make the children born into your family as many as the stars in the sky. I will make them as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. They will take over the cities of their enemies.All nations on earth will be blessed because of your children. All these things will happen because you have obeyed me.”

I will do all these things because Abraham obeyed me. He did everything I required. He kept my commands, my rules and my instructions.”

Then the Lord was concerned for his land. He took pity on his people.

The Lord your God is tender and loving. He won’t leave you or destroy you. He won’t forget the covenant he made with your people of long ago. He gave his word when he made it.
