What Does Ezekiel 36:6 Mean?
The land itself has borne the shame—it has been defiled, occupied, and mocked. God's speaking in jealousy and fury indicates that His emotional and moral response is now engaged. The land's shame is not permanent; it is about to become the occasion for divine action.
The repetition of 'mountains, hills, rivers, valleys' emphasizes that no part of the land will escape God's attention. The shame that seemed final will be reversed.
