Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 36:13

13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; because they say unto you, thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy Nations,

The heathen round about, the enemies of Israel accuse the land of destroying its natives, and bring an evil report on it.

Either by intestine wars, or forreign invasions, or by unhealthful air, or by multitude of wild beasts, or by barrenness and Famin, thou killest them, art like a womb that conceives often, but almost as often miscarrieth, as the word implyeth.

Hast consumed thy nations, so the French, deprived them of their hope of increasing in numbers of men, as a miscarrying womb deprives a Family of hoped children.
