Ezekiel 36:1-4

[1] Also, thou son  of man,  prophesy  unto the mountains  of Israel,  and say,  Ye mountains  of Israel,  hear  the word  of the LORD:  [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,  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  Thus saith  the Lord  to the mountains,  and to the hills,  to the rivers,  and to the valleys,  wastes,  and to the cities  that are forsaken,  which became a prey  and derision  to the residue  of the heathen  that are round about;
