Context — God's Promise of Restorationgenerated

13For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’
14therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.
15I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”
16Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ezekiel 36:14 is part of a larger message from God to His people, addressing their past actions of consuming others and causing loss within their nation. God promises a transformation where they will no longer engage in such destructive behaviors. This reflects a broader theme of restoration and hope found throughout Ezekiel, as seen in Ezekiel 37:25-28 and Isaiah 60:21.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
