Ezequiel 39:26

26 Y ellos sentirán su vergüenza, y toda su rebelión con que se rebelaron contra mí, cuando habitaban en su tierra seguramente, y no había quien los espantare

Ezequiel 39:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 39:26

After that they have borne their shame
And disgrace, among the nations where they are scattered; being captives, exiles, in distress and affliction, and under the manifest tokens of the divine wrath and vengeance: it may be rendered, "and they shall bear their shame" ^F13; that is, as Jarchi glosses it,

``when I shall do good to them, and not render to them according to their wickedness, then they shall bear their shame, and be confounded, and not able to lift up their face;''

as penitent persons, under a sense of divine wrath, blush, and are ashamed to look up to God; see ( Ezra 9:6-10 ) . Menachem interprets the word in the sense of atonement and forgiveness, as it is used in ( Psalms 32:11 ) , as if the meaning was, then they shall have their sins, which caused shame, forgiven them. Kimchi's gloss is,

``they shall carry in their mouths, and make mention of their shame they had in captivity.''

And all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against me;
that is, the punishment of all their trespasses in their captivity, or the shame of them, being now brought to repentance; and which will be aggravated to them, when they remember that these were committed by their forefathers, and since approved of by them. When they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid;
as they did in the times of Christ; they were in entire peace, and no enemy disturbed them; and were in the possession of their own land, and enjoyed the blessings of it, and had their religious as well as civil liberties; and yet rejected the Messiah, his doctrine, ordinances, and salvation by him.

Ezequiel 39:26 In-Context

24 Conforme a su inmundicia y conforme a sus rebeliones hice con ellos; y de ellos escondí mi rostro

25 Por tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: Ahora volveré la cautividad de Jacob, y tendré misericordia de toda la Casa de Israel, y celaré por mi santo Nombre

26 Y ellos sentirán su vergüenza, y toda su rebelión con que se rebelaron contra mí, cuando habitaban en su tierra seguramente, y no había quien los espantare

27 Cuando los volveré de los pueblos, y los juntaré de las tierras de sus enemigos, y fuere santificado en ellos en ojos de muchos gentiles

28 Y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios, cuando después de haberlos hecho pasar a los gentiles, los juntaré sobre su tierra, sin dejar más allá ninguno de ellos
