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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God,.... This being the case, the people of God being in distress, and under shame and disgrace, and the enemy insulting them, and triumphing over them:
I have lifted up mine hand; solemnly swore; lifting up of the hand being a rite used by men when they swore, Genesis 14:22:
surely the Heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame; the punishment of their shame; that which is justly due to them for reproaching and putting to shame the people of God: or they shall be a laughing stock to others, and be reproached and derided themselves, and so be paid in their own coin; a just retaliation this for their treatment of the Jews.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I have lifted up mine hand - i. e., I have sworn. Compare marginal reference.
Their shame - They shall find their taunts come home to themselves.
