Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:60

Commentary on Ezekiel 16:59-63

(Read Ezekiel 16:59-63)

After a full warning of judgments, mercy is remembered, mercy is reserved. These closing verses are a precious promise, in part fulfilled at the return of the penitent and reformed Jews out of Babylon, but to have fuller accomplishment in gospel times. The Divine mercy should be powerful to melt our hearts into godly sorrow for sin. Nor will God ever leave the sinner to perish, who is humbled for his sins, and comes to trust in His mercy and grace through Jesus Christ; but will keep him by his power, through faith unto salvation.

62 So I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.
