Context of Ezekiel 36:7
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.” 6So 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. So 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. 9I am your friend and I will take care of you. Men will plough your ground and they will plant seeds in it.
