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

I will yet for this be inquired of - so as to grant it. On former occasions He had refused to be inquired of by Israel, because the inquirers were not in a fit condition of mind to receive a blessing (; ). But hereafter, as in the restoration from Babylon (Nehemiah 8:1; Nehemiah 9:1; Daniel 9:3; ), God will prepare His people's "hearts" () to pray aright for the blessings which He is about to give (Psalms 102:13; ; Zechariah 12:10; ).

I will increase them with men like a flock - resuming the image (; )
