And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:
The wastes shall be builded - (Isaiah 58:12; Isaiah 61:4; Amos 9:11-12; Amos 9:14) where, as here (Ezekiel 34:23-24), the names of David, Messiah's type, and Edom, Israel's foe, are introduced in connection with the coming restoration.
