Ezekiel 16:62 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:62

And I will establish my covenant with thee
(See Gill on Ezekiel 16:60); and which is repeated for the comfort of the Lord's people, being ashamed upon the remembrance of their evil ways; and to show the certainty of it, as well as because it is a matter of the greatest importance: and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord;
a covenant keeping God; true and faithful to my promises, and able to make them good: this is a principal blessing of the covenant of grace, to know the Lord, ( Jeremiah 31:34 ) .

Ezekiel 16:62 In-Context

60 All the same, I'll remember the covenant I made with you when you were young and I'll make a new covenant with you that will last forever.
61 You'll remember your sorry past and be properly contrite when you receive back your sisters, both the older and the younger. I'll give them to you as daughters, but not as participants in your covenant.
62 I'll firmly establish my covenant with you and you'll know that I am God.
63 You'll remember your past life and face the shame of it, but when I make atonement for you, make everything right after all you've done, it will leave you speechless.'" Decree of God, the Master.
