Anymore Bear Cause Declares Disgrace Fall Hear Heard Heathen Insults Longer Nation Nations Peoples Reproach Scorn Shame Sovereign Stumble Suffer Taunts
Ezekiel 36
1. The land of Israel is comforted, by destruction of the heathen, who spitefully used it
8. and by the blessings of God promised unto it
16. Israel was rejected for their sin
21. and shall be restored without their desert
25. The blessings of Christ's kingdom














I will no longer allow you
This phrase signifies a divine intervention and a promise of protection. The Hebrew root here is "נָתַן" (natan), meaning "to give" or "to allow." Historically, Israel had been subject to the derision of surrounding nations due to their disobedience and subsequent exile. This promise indicates a shift in God's dealings with His people, emphasizing His sovereignty and mercy. It is a reassurance that God is actively involved in the restoration and vindication of His people.

to hear the taunts of the nations
The "taunts" refer to the mocking and ridicule that Israel faced from other nations. The Hebrew word "חֶרְפָּה" (cherpah) is used, which means "reproach" or "disgrace." This reflects the historical context where Israel, having been conquered and exiled, was scorned by its neighbors. Theologically, this signifies God's commitment to restoring Israel's honor and reversing the shame they experienced due to their past sins.

and no longer will you endure the scorn of the peoples
"Scorn" here is translated from the Hebrew "קָלוֹן" (qalon), meaning "shame" or "disgrace." This phrase underscores the end of Israel's humiliation among the nations. The "peoples" refers to the various ethnic groups surrounding Israel. This promise is a profound assurance of God's redemptive plan, highlighting His desire to restore Israel's dignity and standing among the nations.

nor will you cause your nation to stumble
The word "stumble" comes from the Hebrew "כָּשַׁל" (kashal), which means "to fall" or "to stagger." This phrase indicates a cessation of the internal failures and sins that led to Israel's downfall. It suggests a future where Israel will be spiritually renewed and will no longer fall into the idolatry and disobedience that previously led to their exile. This is a prophetic vision of a restored and faithful nation under God's guidance.

declares the Lord GOD
This closing phrase, "נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה" (ne'um Adonai YHWH), is a solemn affirmation of the divine authority behind the promise. It emphasizes that the restoration and protection of Israel are not merely hopeful wishes but are guaranteed by the sovereign Lord. This declaration serves as a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and His ultimate control over the destiny of His people. It reassures believers of the certainty of God's promises and His unwavering commitment to His covenant.

(15) Cause . . . to fall.--In the last four verses there is a delicate play upon words which cannot well be expressed in English. Two verbs are used, each of them twice ("bereave" in Ezekiel 36:14 should be cause to fall, as in margin), one of them meaning to bereave, the other to cause to fall; and these verbs have the same radical letters, but with the first two of them transposed.

In reviewing this whole prophecy (Eze 35:1 to Eze 36:15), it is evident that the time had in view by the prophet was one in which Edom still existed as a nation, and was rejoicing in the fall of Israel. It cannot, therefore, look forward to any literal, but still future, accomplishment, since Edom, as a nation, has long since disappeared; and no future people, occupying the same territory or bearing the same name, could possibly sustain the same historic relations to Israel as are here attributed to Edom. Whatever, therefore, is to be literally understood in the prophecy must have been long ago fulfilled. And this was much. Israel was restored to its land, and there greatly multiplied, so that the country became for ages one of the most fertile and prosperous in Asia. At the same time, the sinfulness of the people, as of old, hindered the fulness of blessing that was within their reach. But a small part of them availed themselves of the opportunity to return to their land; and they who did so suffered themselves so to live that when the crowning blessing of the ages was fulfilled in the coming of the Messiah, the mass of the nation rejected and crucified Him. The blessings promised were fulfilled literally as far as the sinfulness of the people allowed; but inasmuch as these prevented anything like the full realisation of the terms of the prophecy, and as no future realisation of these is possible, on account of the total change of conditions and circumstances, it is plain that under these earthly terms the prophet, like his predecessors, Isaiah and the others, sets forth the glories of the spiritual future, and uses earthly blessings as the types of those better ones which are heavenly.

Ezekiel 36:16-38 constitute a separate prophecy, but one closely connected with that which has gone before. It is here declared that Israel has been scattered among the heathen because they had defiled the land by their sin (Ezekiel 36:16-19); then, that although they had yet further profaned God's name among the heathen, He yet had pity for that name's sake (Ezekiel 36:20-23); and, accordingly, that He will gather and restore Israel, cleansing them from their sins, and giving them a heart to keep His commandments (Ezekiel 36:24-32); and in consequence of this change that He will greatly bless them (Ezekiel 36:35-38). The great point of the prophecy is the moral change foretold in Ezekiel 36:25-27; Ezekiel 36:31. . . .

Verse 15. - Neither will I cause men to hear in thee - let thee hear, proclaim against thee (Revised Version); or literally, cause to be heard against thee - the shame of the heathen any more; i.e. the contemptuous speech uttered against thee by the heathen, equivalent to the reproach of the people; or, peoples; i.e. the reproach cast upon thee by the nations (see Ezekiel 16:57; Ezekiel 22:4; and comp. Joshua 5:9; Micah 6:16), rather than, as Curtsy suggests, the reproach cast upon thee by thy rightful possessors for want of fertility. This prophecy clearly looked beyond the return from exile under Zerubbabel and Joshua, Ezra and Neherajah, since under these leaders only a portion of the whole house of Israel reestablished themselves in Canaan, while the land was often afterwards subjected to reproach and oppression under heathen powers. At the same time, the homecoming from Babylon and the prosperity that ensued thereupon were partial fulfillments of the blessings here promised.
