Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 36:31-32

"Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. Nor for your sake do I [this], saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel." — Ezekiel 36:31-32 (ASV)

How royally he talks—like such a King as he is—the Sovereign Lord of all!
