Ezekiel 36:13 Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:
The verse centers on "make", "abound", "beasts", "shall", "multiplied", "increased", "settle", and "beginning". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "make" and "abound", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 10's "And I will multiply men upon you..." into verse 12's "And I will bring men upon you...", so "make" and "abound" belong inside that flow. In Ezekiel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "make" and "abound" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
