Contextual Overview

1 "Son of man, speak in My name to the mountains of Israel. Say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord. 2 The Lord God says, "Those who hate you have laughed and spoken against you, saying, ‘The old hills now belong to us.' 3 So tell the mountains of Israel, ‘The Lord God says, "They have made you a waste land, and destroyed you from every side. You were taken by the rest of the nations for their own. And the people have been saying bad things about you."'" 4 So, mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains, the hills, the valleys, the destroyed places and empty cities, which have been robbed and made fun of by the rest of the nations around them. 5 The Lord God says, "I speak in the fire of My jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom. They have taken My land for themselves with hearts full of joy and hate, that they might rob its good things." 6 ‘So speak about the land of Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, and valleys, "The Lord God says, ‘I speak in My jealousy and anger because you have been put to shame by the nations.' 7 So the Lord God says, ‘I promise that the nations around you will also suffer shame. 8 But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit for My people Israel. For they will come home soon. 9 See, I care for you and will show you favor. You will be plowed and planted. 10 I will cause the people to become many, all the people of Israel. People will live in the cities, and the places that have been destroyed will be built again.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel,.... And the inhabitants of it, for their comfort, in this their time of distress:

and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, thus saith the Lord God, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury; with great zeal for his honour, and the interest of his people; and with indignation at his and their enemies:

because ye have borne the shame of the Heathen; their calumnies and lies, their reproaches and scoffs, their injuries and abuses; all which were resented by the Lord, and therefore he determines to punish for them.
