Ezequiel 36:32 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:32

Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord
Not for any worth or worthiness in them; for any merit or desert of theirs; for any goodness in them, or works of righteousness done by them; no, it purely flowed from his own unmerited grace and goodness; for his own sake, and for his own glory, will he do it; see ( Deuteronomy 9:4-6 ) : be it known unto you;
this the Lord would have this people take notice of, who were very fond of their own righteousness and merits, and to trust therein, and ascribe much thereunto, as most men are too apt to do; and therefore, to take down their pride, and take them off of their boastings and vain opinions of themselves, he would have them know and acknowledge this; and be so far from placing any of the favours bestowed on them to the account of the merit of their good works, that they ought to take shame for their evil ones, as follows: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel;
as men are when they are brought to a true sight and sense of them, and reflect upon the evil of them, and are brought to true repentance for them; see ( Ezekiel 16:61 Ezekiel 16:63 ) .

Ezequiel 36:32 In-Context

30 Multiplicaré asimismo el fruto de los árboles, y el fruto de los campos, para que nunca más recibáis oprobio de hambre entre los gentiles

31 Y os acordaréis de vuestros malos caminos, y de vuestras obras que no fueron buenas; y os avergonzaréis de vosotros mismos por vuestras iniquidades, y por vuestras abominaciones

32 No lo hago por vosotros, dijo el Señor DIOS, sabedlo bien; avergonzaos y confundios de vuestros caminos, Casa de Israel

33 Así dijo el Señor DIOS: El día que os limpiare de todas vuestras iniquidades, haré también habitar las ciudades, y las asoladas serán edificadas

34 Y la tierra asolada será labrada, en lugar de haber sido asolada en ojos de todos los que pasaron
