12 I will cause my people to walk on you once again, and you will be their territory. You will never again rob them of their children. 13 "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The other nations taunt you, saying, 'Israel is a land that devours its own people and robs them of their children!' 14 But you will never again devour your people or rob them of their children, says the Sovereign Lord .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:12-14
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.
