Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 36:37

37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like a flock.

Though I have repeated so often my promise to return them, to rebuild, to multiply them, yet they shall know, 'tis their duty to intreat it, to wait on me, and then I will give a merciful answer, and do it. Thus Daniel pray'd, when he knew the return was sure and near. Or else it may be thus; Above all this, or yet more than all this, I will be found of them, when they do seek me, thus 'tis a promise made to their prayer, in the other 'tis a requiring them to pray, so they shall increase as a Flock.
