Context of Ezekiel 36:6
4Because of this, mountains of Israel, listen to this message from me, the Almighty Lord. I say this to the hills, the mountains and the valleys. I say this to the empty places and the towns that have become heaps of stones where nobody lives. This has caused the nations around you to laugh at you and insult you. 5So this is what the Almighty Lord says: I am very angry with those nations and I will punish them. I am even more angry with the people of Edom because they insulted my people. They were happy to take my land for themselves so that their animals could eat the grass.” So prophesy to the hills and mountains of Israel, and to its valleys. Tell them, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: I am very angry because the nations around you have caused you to be ashamed. 7So this is what I, the Almighty Lord, say: I make a strong promise that those nations will soon be ashamed themselves. 8But I say this to you mountains of Israel. Trees will grow on you again and crops will provide much food for my people. My people will soon come home.
