they shall say—The heathen, who once made Israel's desolation a ground of reproach against the name of Jehovah Himself (Ezekiel 36:20-21); but now He so vindicates its sanctity (Ezekiel 36:22-23) that these same heathen are constrained to acknowledge Israel's more than renewed blessedness to be God's own work, and a ground for glorifying His name (Ezekiel 36:36).
Eden—as Tyre (the type of the world powers in general: so Assyria, a cedar "in the garden of God, Eden," Ezekiel 31:8-9), in original advantages, had been compared to "Eden, the garden of God" (Ezekiel 28:13), from which she had fallen irrecoverably; so Israel, once desolate, is to be as "the garden of Eden" (Isaiah 51:3), and is to be so unchangeably.
