Then you will remember
The Hebrew word for "remember" is "זָכַר" (zakar), which implies more than just recalling past events; it suggests a deep, reflective consideration that leads to a change in behavior. In the context of Ezekiel, this remembrance is not merely intellectual but is intended to provoke a heartfelt response. The Israelites are called to remember their past sins as a catalyst for repentance and transformation. This remembrance is a divine gift, enabling them to see their past in the light of God's holiness and mercy.

your evil ways
The phrase "evil ways" translates from the Hebrew "דַּרְכֵיכֶם הָרָעִים" (darkeichem hara'im). "Ways" (דֶּרֶךְ, derek) often refers to a path or journey, symbolizing the habitual conduct of life. "Evil" (רַע, ra) denotes that which is morally wrong or harmful. This phrase underscores the habitual nature of sin, suggesting that the Israelites' actions were not isolated incidents but a pattern of behavior contrary to God's will. It serves as a reminder of the need for a complete reorientation of life towards righteousness.

and your deeds that were not good
The Hebrew for "deeds" is "מַעֲלָלִים" (ma'alalim), which refers to actions or practices. The phrase "not good" (לֹא טוֹב, lo tov) highlights the moral deficiency of these actions. In the biblical context, "good" is often associated with what is pleasing to God and beneficial to others. This phrase emphasizes the failure of the Israelites to live according to God's standards, reinforcing the need for repentance and divine forgiveness.

and you will loathe yourselves
The word "loathe" comes from the Hebrew "קוּט" (qut), which conveys a sense of intense disgust or abhorrence. This self-loathing is not meant to lead to despair but to genuine repentance. It reflects a deep awareness of one's sinfulness and the resulting separation from God. In the conservative Christian perspective, this loathing is a necessary step in the process of sanctification, leading believers to a deeper reliance on God's grace and a renewed commitment to holiness.

for your iniquities
"Iniquities" is translated from the Hebrew "עֲוֹנוֹתֵיכֶם" (avonoteichem), which refers to guilt or the perversion of what is right. It implies a conscious deviation from God's law. The recognition of iniquities is crucial for understanding the gravity of sin and the need for atonement. In the broader biblical narrative, this acknowledgment of iniquity is a precursor to receiving God's forgiveness and restoration.

and abominations
The term "abominations" comes from the Hebrew "תּוֹעֲבוֹתֵיכֶם" (to'evoteichem), which denotes actions that are detestable or repugnant to God. These are often associated with idolatry and practices that violate the covenant relationship with God. The use of this term underscores the severity of the Israelites' sins and the profound offense they caused to God's holiness. In a conservative Christian understanding, recognizing such abominations is essential for true repentance and the restoration of a right relationship with God.

(31) Shall lothe yourselves.--Comp. Note on Ezekiel 20:43.

Verse 31. - Ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight (comp. Ezekiel 16:61; Ezekiel 42:10). The last result of this enlarged experience of the Divine goodness would be to quicken in the heart of forgiven and renewed Israel a sense of shame and a feeling of repentance (comp. Romans 2:4).
