Matthew Henry Commentary


Matthew Henry Commentary
"Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. And those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which hath departed from me, and with they eyes, which play the harlot after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. And they shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them." — Ezekiel 6:8-10 (ASV)
A remnant of Israel will be left; eventually they will remember the Lord, their obligations to Him, and their rebellion against Him. True penitents see sin to be that abominable thing which the Lord hates. Those who truly loathe sin, loathe themselves because of sin. They give glory to God by their repentance. Whatever brings people to remember Him, and their sins against Him, should be regarded as a blessing.
