After that they have borne their shame,.... And disgrace, among the nations where they are scattered; being captives, exiles, in distress and affliction, and under the manifest tokens of the divine wrath and vengeance: it may be rendered, "and they shall bear their shame" (m); that is, as Jarchi glosses it,
"when I shall do good to them, and not render to them according to their wickedness, then they shall bear their shame, and be confounded, and not able to lift up their face;''

as penitent persons, under a sense of divine wrath, blush, and are ashamed to look up to God; see Ezr 9:6. Menachem interprets the word in the sense of atonement and forgiveness, as it is used in Psa 32:11, as if the meaning was, then they shall have their sins, which caused shame, forgiven them. Kimchi's gloss is,
"they shall carry in their mouths, and make mention of their shame they had in captivity.''
And all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against me; that is, the punishment of all their trespasses in their captivity, or the shame of them, being now brought to repentance; and which will be aggravated to them, when they remember that these were committed by their forefathers, and since approved of by them.
When they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid; as they did in the times of Christ; they were in entire peace, and no enemy disturbed them; and were in the possession of their own land, and enjoyed the blessings of it, and had their religious as well as civil liberties; and yet rejected the Messiah, his doctrine, ordinances, and salvation by him.

26. After that they have borne their shame — Rather, with R.V., “And they shall bear their shame,” in the rare sense of being ashamed because of their unworthiness of God’s great mercies (Eze_16:54; Eze_16:61), or, with a very slight change of text, “they shall forget their shame” (Hitzig; compare Isa_54:4), which gives a sense peculiarly appropriate here.

26. after that … borne] Rather: And they shall bear their shame. The phrase “bear shame” is not used in the sense of bearing the outward disgrace (Eze_32:24-25; Eze_32:30, Eze_34:29, Eze_36:7), but in the sense of bearing the inward feeling of unworthiness, which the undeserved goodness of Jehovah creates (Eze_16:52; Eze_16:54). The word “bear” is written defectively and by a change of a “tittle” might mean “forget.” While “forget their shame” however might well be said, shame meaning reproach (Isa_54:4), “forget their trespasses,” implying complete obliteration of the unhappy past, is so powerful an idea that it causes surprise. Either idea is beautiful; whether the idea be that the redeemed people sit in abashed gladness, the memory of former evil adding depth to the gladness, or whether it be that the assurance that Jehovah is their God (Eze_39:22) is so exalted that the memory of former sad days is wholly wiped out by it.
when they dwelt … afraid] when they dwell with confidence … and none maketh them afraid. Reference is to the time of restoration.

After they have borne their shame. (comp. Eze_16:52, 54 32:24, 30 34:29 36:6) The captivity of Israel would not be brought back until her people had been thoroughly chastised for their iniquities, and that chastisement had wrought in them a spirit of penitence and a disposition towards obedience. Then should Jehovah interpose for their deliver-ante by gathering them out of their enemies" lands and leading them back to their own land; and these two experiences, the Captivity and the Restoration, the driving out and the bringing in, should complete their conversion to Jehovah, and secure their perpetual enjoyment of Jehovah"s favor.
