35. they shall say —The heathen, who once made Israel's desolation a ground of reproach against the name of Jehovah Himself ( Ezekiel 36:20 ; Ezekiel 36:21 ); but now He so vindicates its sanctity ( Ezekiel 36:22 ; Ezekiel 36:23 ) that these same heathen are constrained to acknowledge Israel's more than renewed blessedness to be God's own work, and a ground for glorifying His name ( Ezekiel 36:36 ).
