Ezekiel 36:15

Ezekiel 36:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:15

Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the
Heathen any more
Their calumnies and revilings, their scoffs and jeers: neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more;
or be any more a taunt and a curse, a proverb and a byword of the people; or be their laughing stock, and the object of their derision: neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord
God;
by famine, sword, or pestilence, or any other judgment caused by sin: or, "thou shalt not bereave" ^F12, as the marginal reading is; and which the Targum and many versions follow: now what is here promised, in this and the preceding verse, had not its full accomplishment upon the Jews' return from the Babylonish captivity; for since that time their men have been devoured, and their tribes have been bereaved of them by famine, sword, and pestilence; and they have heard and bore the shame and reproach of the nations where they have been dispersed, and do to this day; wherefore these prophecies must refer to a future restoration of that people.

Ezekiel 36:15 In-Context

13 " 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh, because [they are] saying to you, "You [are] [an] eater of humans, and you are {one who makes childless} your people."

14 Therefore humans you will not eat [any] longer, and your nation you will not make childless [any] longer," {declares} the Lord Yahweh.

15 "And I will not let you hear [any] longer the insult of the nations, and [the] disgrace of [the] peoples you will not bear [any] longer; you [yourself] will not cause your nation to stumble," {declares} the Lord Yahweh.'"

16 And the word of Yahweh {came} to me, {saying},

17 "Son of man, the house of Israel, [they] were dwelling on their soil, and they defiled it with their way and with their deeds; like the uncleanness of menstruation was their way {before me}.
