Ezekiel 36:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 36:6

4 therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, the hills, the¹ rivers, the valleys, the desolate wastes, and the cities that have been forsaken, which ^abecame plunder and ^bmockery to the rest of the nations all around—

5 therefore thus says the Lord God: ^a“Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, ^bwho gave My land to themselves as a possession, with wholehearted joy and¹ spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open country.” ’

6 “Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, and the valleys, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and My fury, because you have ^aborne the shame of the nations.”

7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “I have ^araised My hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall ^bbear their own shame.

8 But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come.

9 For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown.

10 I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and ^athe ruins rebuilt.

11 ^aI will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and¹ bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do ^bbetter for you than at your beginnings. ^cThen you shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Israel; ^athey shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you ^bbereave them of children.”

13 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because they say to you, ^a‘You devour men and bereave your nation of children,’

14 therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore,” says the Lord God.
