Context of Ezekiel 36:9

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. I am your friend and I will take care of you. Men will plough your ground and they will plant seeds in it. 10I will cause more and more Israelite people to live on you, and in all the land. They will live in the towns and they will repair the broken buildings. 11I will make more and more people and animals live on you. They will give birth to many young ones, so that they grow in number. I will cause many people to live on you, as they did a long time ago. I will help you with more good things than you had when you first became a land for my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
