^{9 Ref} For, lo, I `am' for you, and have turned to you, And ye have been tilled and sown.

^{10 Ref} And I have multiplied on you men, All the house of Israel -- all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the wastes are built.

^{11 Ref} And I have multiplied on you man and beast, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And ye have known that I `am' Jehovah.

^{12 Ref} And I have caused man to walk over you, -- My people Israel, And they possess thee, and thou hast been to them for an inheritance, And thou dost add no more to bereave them.
