Context of Ezekiel 36:7

5“‘This is what the Lord God says: Certainly in my burning zeal I speak against the rest of the nations and all of Edom, who took my land as their own possession with wholehearted rejoicing and utter contempt so that its pastureland became plunder. 6Therefore, prophesy concerning Israel’s land, and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I speak in my burning zeal because you have endured the insults of the nations. Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: I swear that the nations all around you will endure their own insults. 8“‘You, mountains of Israel, will produce your branches and bear your fruit for my people Israel, since their arrival is near. 9Look! I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown.
