Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to wastes that <FI>are<Fi> desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the nations who <FI>are<Fi> round about.
Ezekiel 36:2 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy said against you, Aha, and the high places of old for a possession have been to us,
Ezekiel 36:3 therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from round about, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And ye are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And <FI>are<Fi> an evil report of the people.
Ezekiel 36:4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to wastes that <FI>are<Fi> desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the nations who <FI>are<Fi> round about.
Ezekiel 36:5 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom--all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart--with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?
Ezekiel 36:6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And thou hast said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I, in My jealousy, and in My fury, I have spoken, Because the shame of nations ye have borne.
The verse centers on "therefore", "mountains", "israel", "hear", "word", "lord", "jehovah", and "thus". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "therefore" and "mountains", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 3's "therefore prophesy and thou hast said Thus..." into verse 5's "Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah Have...", so "therefore" and "mountains" 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 "therefore" and "mountains" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
