1 And you, son of man, prophesy to Israel's mountains and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of Jehovah. 2 So says the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy has spoken against you, saying , Aha! Everlasting heights have become a possession to us. 3 So prophesy and say, So says the Lord Jehovah: Because, yea, because of the wasting and crushing of you from all around, that you might be a possession to the rest of the nations, and you ascendedon the tip of the tongue, and the whisperingof the people. 4 Therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord Jehovah: So says the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, to the wastes of desolation, and to the forsaken cities which became a prey anda mocking to the rest of the nations all around. 5 So the Lord Jehovah says this: Surely I have spoken in the fire of My jealousy against the rest of the nations, and against Edom, all those of her who have given My land to themselves for a possession with all joy of heart, with scorning ofsoul, in order to make it open land for a prey. 6 So prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because you have borne the shame of thenations. 7 So the Lord Jehovah says this: I have lifted up My hand, surely the nations that surround you, they shall bear their shame. 8 But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall put out your branches and your fruit, you shall bear for My people Israel. For they are drawing near to come. 9 For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. 10 And I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, all of it. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord God,.... By the mouth of the prophet, who was bid to prophesy:
because the enemy had said against you, aha: rejoicing at the calamity of God's people, particularly the Edomites or Idumeans, as in the preceding chapter; and who are chiefly meant; and also the Ammonites and Tyrians, Ezekiel 25:3:
even the ancient high places are ours in possession; or, "the high places of the world shall be unto us for a possession" f; the land of Israel, according to Kimchi and others, was the highest part of the world, Jerusalem the highest part of that land, and the temple was built on the highest part of the city; and all these the Edomites claimed as their own, the land, city, and temple, and thought themselves sure of the same, as if they had them in actual possession; even the hilly part of the country, which had been so from the creation, and where stood many of the fortified and frontier towns and cities; which as strong as they were, or had been, they fancied would easily fall into their hands, now such desolations were made in the land.
