“But you!
O mountains of Israel!
You shall shoot out
Your branches.
You shall yield
Your fruit
For my people,
Israel.
They shall soon
Come home.”
Yahweh, via Ezekiel, told the mountains of Israel to shoot out from its branches. They were to get ready the yield from the fruit of its trees for his people. Why should they do this? Very simply, the people of Israel would return home soon, a common theme.
