And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God: Because the enemy said of you, 'Aha! the ancient heights have become our possession,' shifting focus from judgment of Edom to restoration of Israel, addressing the mountains of Israel as if they are sentient entities deserving prophetic address. The enemy's claim to Israel's highlands suggests territorial conquest and spoilation.
