Ezekiel 16:62 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:62

And I will establish my covenant with thee
(See Gill on Ezekiel 16:60); and which is repeated for the comfort of the Lord's people, being ashamed upon the remembrance of their evil ways; and to show the certainty of it, as well as because it is a matter of the greatest importance: and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord;
a covenant keeping God; true and faithful to my promises, and able to make them good: this is a principal blessing of the covenant of grace, to know the Lord, ( Jeremiah 31:34 ) .

Ezekiel 16:62 In-Context

60 and I shall have mind on my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I shall raise to thee a covenant everlasting. (and I shall remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I shall establish with thee an everlasting covenant.)
61 And thou shalt have mind on thy ways, and shalt be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters greater than thou, with thy less sisters; and I shall give them into daughters to thee, but not of thy covenant. (And thou shalt remember thy ways, and shalt be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy elder sisters, with thy younger sisters; and I shall give them to thee as daughters, but not by thy covenant.)
62 And I shall raise, (or I shall establish,) my covenant with thee, and thou shalt know, that I am the Lord,
63 that thou have mind, and be ashamed; and that it be no more to thee to open the mouth for thy shame, when I shall be pleased to thee in all things which thou didest, saith the Lord God. (and thou shalt remember, and be ashamed; and thou shalt no more open thy mouth because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee for all the things which thou hast done, saith the Lord God.)
