14 therefore you will no longer devour people or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign Lord.
14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave
14 therefore you shall no longer devour people and no longer bereave your nation of children, declares the Lord GOD.
14 I'm now telling you that you'll never eat people alive again nor make women barren. Decree of God, the Master.
14 therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore," says the Lord God.
14 But you will never again devour your people or rob them of their children, says the Sovereign Lord .

Commentary on Ezekiel 36:1-15
(Read Ezekiel 36:1-15)
Those who put contempt and reproach on God's people, will have them turned on themselves. God promises favour to his Israel. We have no reason to complain, if the more unkind men are, the more kind God is. They shall come again to their own border. It was a type of the heavenly Canaan, of which all God's children are heirs, and into which they all shall be brought together. And when God returns in mercy to a people who return to him in duty, all their grievances will be set right. The full completion of this prophecy must be in some future event.
