| Chap. XXXVI.
God adds this to his taking, gathering, and bringing into the Lang, wer. 24. when they are there, they ſhall ſertle and continue Proprie- tors, poſleſſing their own Houſes and Lands. 6 They were greatly pleas'd tothink, Canaan their Land was by God given to their Fathers ; in this Land under this CharaGter you ſhall dwell : The Land that by Promiſe 'to Abraham was your Right 1346 years, or nearit. c As your Fathers were, who reverenced, loved, worſhipped, obey'd, and believed in me. 4 As I was their God to prote&, guide, comfort, and enrich, &c. Vid. chap. 11. 20. let. p. to perform Promiſe to their Faith and Patience; and ſo you ſhall inherit the Bleſſing.
29 I will alſo fave you from all your uncleanneſſes 2; and I will call f for the corn, and will increaſe ir, and
GEESE
*lay g no famine upon you.
Perhaps the former part of this Verſe would have been better joined with the former Verſe, as a glorieus Fruit of God's taking them to be his People, and his condeſcending to be their God. e Salvation from all Uncleanneſles includeth Juſtification in our Pardon, SanQift- cation in the renewing our Minds, ſomewhat of Adoption in Peace and Hope, and a conſummate Glorification in Heaven, that State ofab- ſolute Purity ; all this God gives, when he is our God. f Corn, all Neceſſaries for Aliment compriſed in one, and theſe brought to them at God's Call, which they will hear, Pſal. 105. 16. 40. Hoſ. 2. 21, 22, g This is God's Arrow, he ſhoots it, where 'tis he layeth it ; but his People ſhall neither have it their Miſery or their Reproach any more ; as in next Verſe.
30 AndI will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the in- creaſe of the field , that ye ſhall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
The former part ofthis Verſe explain'd, ſee chap. 34. 27. and 8, 9, 10.ver. of this chap. ThelJatter part explained in wer. 29.
31 Then þ * ſhall yeremember i your own evil & ways, Chap. 16.and your doings that were not / good, and * ſhall loath 62.63- your ſelves in your own fight », for your iniquities, and Lev. 26h your abominations. ”
L When 1 have given you my Spirit, renewed your Hearts, brought you by miraculous Mercy out of Captivity in a ſtrange Land, unto Li- berty in your own. ; Call to mind, review, and examine all your paſt Life. k Ways oppoſite to God's ; therefore both their own by Choice, and alſo evil intheir very Nature, the Ways the Prophets condemned and threatned, as chap. 22, and Jer. 3.5. &c. 1 Itis a Meioſiſs, not Good, 5. e. exceeding evil, like, yea worſe than other Nations,chap. 5,6. than Sodom. chap. 16.46. m See chap.6. 9. Your Mind ſhall abhor what you loved, and deeply grieve at what you rejoiced in; when Swine, ye wallowed in Mire ; when made Sheep, you ſhall as much fear, and fly from it. » Not in ſight of others, but Repentance in the chief parts lieth more retired and inward, and loaths Sins that are in the Heart, though none ever knew them beſide God and his own Soul. This fruit is the firſt and moſt ſure Sign of true Repentance.
32 Not for your fakes o do I :hs faith the Lord GOD, be it known- unto you: be aſham- ed p and confounded for your own ways, O houle of Ifrael.
o To aſelf-exalting People, who have too high Thoughts of them. ſelves, this is anecefſary Monition : We are all like the Jews, proud of ſomewhat we have not, vid. ver. 22. an old Diſeaſe, and we long ſince warnedofir, as wellas they, Dent. 9.5,6. p Shame and Con fuſion, Self-abhorrence, and deepeſt Humiliation, that will become you; for you have walked ſtubbornly in your own Ways, though I would have reclaimed you, and did call you back from them by my Fr phets.
33 Thus faith the Lord GOD, In the day 9 that I ſhall have cleanſed you from all your iniquities, I will alſo cauſe you to dwell in the cities, and the waſtes ſhall be builded. EY |
7 Sin committed, that deſeryeth ; and Sin imputed, that doth bring down Judgments on the Sinner ; (ſo did the Jews Sins, and continued the Puniſhment in thoſe Judgments) until a Pardon take away Guilt, and then Judgments will be removed: So here, pardoned Captives re. turn to, and dwell in their own Cities ; Sin unpardoned waſted the Country, but Sinners repenting and pardon'd, ſhall build the Waſtes: Sin unpardon'd , leaves the Land untilled and barren ; but pardon'd ones ſha!! plough, ſow, reap, and ear.
