Ezequiel 36:31 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:31

Then shall ye remember your own evil ways
That were of their own choosing; in which they walked, and delighted to walk: and very evil ones they were; opposite to the ways of God; such as open violation of the law of God; neglect of his worship; idolatry, and many other sins, before the captivity; adhering to the traditions of their elders; and setting up their own righteousness as a justifying one afterwards; also their disbelief and rejection of the Messiah; their blasphemy against him, and persecution of his interest and people: now these will all be remembered with shame and confusion when the Lord shall bestow upon them the above blessings, spiritual and temporal; especially when a new heart and spirit shall be given them; the goodness of God will have such an influence upon them as to refresh their memories with former sins, and bring them to repentance for them; as well as to affect their minds, and make them thankful for present mercies: sins, which were before forgotten, or were not thought to be sins, shall now come fresh in their minds, with all their aggravated guilt: and your doings that were not good:
far from being so, they were very evil, contrary to the law of God and Gospel of Christ; as they will at this time appear to themselves to be: and shall loath yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and
for your abominations;
their sins will be abominable to them, as they are in themselves, and to the Lord; and they will not only loath them, but themselves for them, when they shall come to have a true sight of them in their own colours, and a true sense of the evil nature of them; and this shall not be expressed only in the sight of men, and so as to be observed by them; but in their own sight, secretly and within themselves, under a clear and full conviction of their sins. The Syriac version is, "your faces shall be wrinkled"; as men's are when they are displeased with themselves for what they have done. The Targum is,

``and ye shall groan when ye shall see, because of your sins, and because of your abominations;''

which is the case of sensible sinners, ( 2 Corinthians 5:4 ) ( Ezekiel 20:43 ) .

Ezequiel 36:31 In-Context

29 Eu os livrarei de toda a sua impureza. Convocarei o cereal e o farei multiplicar-se, e não trarei fome sobre vocês.

30 Aumentarei a produção das árvores e as safras dos campos, de modo que vocês não sofrerão mais vergonha entre as nações por causa da fome.

31 Então vocês se lembrarão dos seus caminhos maus e das suas ações ímpias e terão nojo de vocês mesmos por causa das suas iniquidades e das suas práticas repugnantes.

32 Quero que saibam que não estou fazendo isso por causa de vocês. Palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR. Envergonhem-se e humilhem-se por causa de sua conduta, ó nação de Israel!

33 “Assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: No dia em que eu os purificar de todos os seus pecados, restabelecerei as suas cidades e as ruínas serão reconstruídas.
