What does Ezekiel 36:12 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
12. to walk upon you--O mountains of Israel (Eze 36:8)! thee ... thou--change from plural to singular: O hill of Zion, singled out from the other mountains of Israel (Eze 34:26); or land. thou shall no more ... bereave them of men--Thou shalt no more provoke God to bereave them of children (so the ellipsis ought to be supplied, as Ezekiel probably alludes to Jr 15:7, "I will bereave them of children").
