SCRIPTURE

"neither will I let thee hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to stumble any more, saith the Lord Jehovah." — Ezekiel 36:15 (ASV)

Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the
Heathen any more
Their calumnies and revilings, their scoffs and jeers:

neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more ;
or be any more a taunt and a curse, a proverb and a byword of the people; or be their laughing stock, and the object of their derision:

neither shalt thou cause your nations to fall any more, saith the Lord
God ;
by famine, sword, or pestilence, or any other judgment caused by sin: or, "you shall not bereave" F12 , as the marginal reading is; and which the Targum and many versions follow:

now what is here promised, in this and the preceding verse, had not its full accomplishment upon the Jews' return from the Babylish captivity; for since that time their men have been devoured, and their tribes have been bereaved of them by famine, sword, and pestilence; and they have heard and bore the shame and reproach of the nations where they have been dispersed, and do to this day; wherefore these prophecies must refer to a future restoration of that people.
