Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I have lifted up mine hand - i. e., I have sworn. Compare marginal reference.

Their shame - They shall find their taunts come home to themselves.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Therefore thus saith the Lord God,.... This being the case, the people of God being in distress, and under shame and disgrace, and the enemy insulting them, and triumphing over them:

I have lifted up mine hand; solemnly swore; lifting up of the hand being a rite used by men when they swore, Genesis 14:22,

surely the Heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame; the punishment of their shame; that which is justly due to them for reproaching and putting to shame the people of God: or they shall be a laughing stock to others, and be reproached and derided themselves, and so be paid in their own coin; a just retaliation this for their treatment of the Jews.


Geneva Study Bible

(f) By making a solemn oath. See Geneva Eze 20:5


Wesley's Notes

36:7 Lifted up mine hand - Sworn in my wrath. The heathen - The Moabites, Ammonites, and Idumeans.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. lifted . mine hand-in token of an oath (Eze 20:5; Ge 14:22).

they shall bear their shame-a perpetual shame; whereas the "shame" which Israel bore from these heathen was only for a time.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

36:1-15 Those who put contempt and reproach on God's people, will have them turned on themselves. God promises favour to his Israel. We have no reason to complain, if the more unkind men are, the more kind God is. They shall come again to their own border. It was a type of the heavenly Canaan, of which all God's children are heirs, and into which they all shall be brought together. And when God returns in mercy to a people who return to him in duty, all their grievances will be set right. The full completion of this prophecy must be in some future event.


Ezekiel 36:6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations.
Ezekiel 36:8 "'But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.
Ezekiel 36:15 No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the Sovereign LORD.'"
