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.

Ezekiel 36:6 In-Context

4 Therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh; thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the river channels and to the valleys and to the ruins that [are] desolate and to the cities that [are] abandoned [and] that have become as plunder and as scorn for the remainder of the nations that [are] from all around.
5 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: "{Certainly} in the fire of my passion I spoke against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who made my land as [a] possession, because of its pastureland for plunder, for themselves in all of [the] joy of their whole heart [and] in [their] inner disdain."
6 Therefore prophesy against the land of Israel, and you must say to the mountains and to the hills, to the river channels and to the valleys, thus says the Lord Yahweh: "Look! I spoke in my passion and in my anger [the] insult of [the] peoples you have endured."
7 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: "{I swear} {certainly} [that] the nations {that are all around you}, they indeed will endure their disgrace.
8 " '"But you, mountains of Israel, your branch you will shoot, and your fruit you will carry for my people Israel, for they [are] soon to come.
