I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine(N) upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.(O) 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.(P) 32 I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord.

I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’(X)

37 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea(Y) and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep,(Z) 38 as numerous as the flocks for offerings(AA) at Jerusalem during her appointed festivals. So will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(AB)
