This is a motive that the Prophet Ezekiel doth often use, Nevertheless, I will remember my covenant with thee, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant, then shalt thou remember ¹thy ways, and be ashamed, &c. That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee, for all that thou bast done, saith the Lord of hosts. That is, when I shall be graciously reconciled unto thee in Jesus Christ, then thou shalt be confounded and ashamed for thy evil doings. As also Ezek. 20. 41, 42, 43. I will ²bring you out from among the people, &c. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall bring ye into the land of Israel, &c. And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled, and ye shall loath your selves in your own sight, for all your evils that ye have committed. So also in the verse before my text. Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loath your selves in your own sight
