Ezekiel 36:7

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I have sworn, [saying], Surely the nations that are round about you, they shall bear their shame." — Ezekiel 36:7 (ASV)

Lifted up my hand.— As in Ezekiel 20:6, meaning I have sworn.

Shall bear their shame.—Compare with Ezekiel 36:6. The Israelites have been compelled to bear the reproaches of the nations, but these reproaches now return upon those nations themselves.
