Ezekiel 36:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:6

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel
And the inhabitants of it, for their comfort, in this their time of distress: and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to
the valleys, thus saith the Lord God, I have spoken in my jealousy
and in my fury;
with great zeal for his honour, and the interest of his people; and with indignation at his and their enemies: because ye have borne the shame of the Heathen;
their calumnies and lies, their reproaches and scoffs, their injuries and abuses; all which were resented by the Lord, and therefore he determines to punish for them.

6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I have spoken in My burning zeal because you have endured the reproach of the nations.

7 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I have sworn with an uplifted hand that surely the nations around you will endure reproach of their own.

8 But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and bear fruit for My people Israel, for they will soon come home.
