“Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:”
But you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they shall soon come home, introducing the promise of restoration: the land will become fertile and productive for Israel's return. The imagery of the mountains bearing fruit suggests natural abundance and divine blessing on the land.
