Ezekiel 36:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:9

For, behold, I am for you
For the mountains, that they might be cultivated and become fruitful, and be of advantage to their proprietors, and appear beautiful and lovely to behold, as well as to be useful: and I will turn unto you;
the Lord had turned from them, and left them a prey to the enemy, whereby they were become desolate; but now he would turn unto them, and bless them, and make them fruitful, and return the right owners of them to them, who should greatly improve them: and ye shall be tilled and sown;
manured and cultivated, and sown with wheat and barley, as in former times.
