8 "However, I will leave a remnant , for you will have those who escaped the sword among the nations when you are scattered among the countries . 9 "Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive , how I have been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols ; and they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed , for all their abominations . 10 "Then they will know that I am the Lord ; I have not said in vain that I would inflict this disaster on them."'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 6:8-10
Commentary on Ezekiel 6:8-10
(Read Ezekiel 6:8-10)
A remnant of Israel should be left; at length they should remember the Lord, their obligations to him, and 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 men to remember Him, and their sins against him, should be regarded as a blessing.
