Yechezkel 36:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:7

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
This being the case, the people of God being in distress, and under shame and disgrace, and the enemy insulting them, and triumphing over them: I have lifted up mine hand;
solemnly swore; lifting up of the hand being a rite used by men when they swore, ( Genesis 14:22 ) : surely the Heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame;
the punishment of their shame; that which is justly due to them for reproaching and putting to shame the people of God: or they shall be a laughing stock to others, and be reproached and derided themselves, and so be paid in their own coin; a just retaliation this for their treatment of the Jews.

7 Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem; I have lifted up Mine yad [in oath-taking], Surely the Goyim that are around you, they shall bear their own scorn.

8 But ye, O harim of Yisroel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your p’ri to My people Yisroel; for their return [home] is at hand.

9 For, hineni, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be plowed and sown;
