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.
