54<\/strong>. Read: “that thou mayest bear thy shame, and be ashamed because of all that thou hast done in comforting them.” Jerusalem “comforted” Samaria and Sodom in surpassing them in wickedness, and causing them to feel less their own guilt, as also in causing their restoration.<\/p>\n Thou art a comfort unto them – <\/B>The degradation of Judah would be a kind of consolation to others. Compare Isa. 14<\/span>.<\/P><\/p>\n Thou mayest; <\/B>thou shalt<\/I>, so the Hebrew, as well as mayest<\/I>. <\/P> Shame; <\/B>punishment for offences is ever reproachful, and some punishments are more so than others. Such shall the Jews punishments be. <\/P> Confounded; <\/B>some offenders are hardened to an insensibleness of shame, but God will make these Jews to feel the smart, and blush under the shame of their punishments. <\/P> In all that thou hast done; <\/B>for all the wickednesses from which the punishments of Sodom and Samaria should have deterred them, for imitating and outdoing them. <\/P> A comfort; <\/B>encouraging sinners like those of Sodom and Samaria, and being fellow sufferers with them in as great, or greater, judgments. <\/P> <\/p>\n 54. bear thine own shame<\/B>bybeing put on a level with those whom thou hast so much despised. <\/P> thou art a comfort untothem<\/B>since they see thee as miserable as themselves. It is akind of melancholy “comfort” to those chastised to seeothers as sorely punished as themselves (Eze 14:22<\/span>;Eze 14:23<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n That thou mayest bear thine own shame<\/strong>,…. So long as the captivity remains; even until Sodom and Samaria, the Gentiles, and the ten tribes, are called and converted:<\/p>\n and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done<\/strong>; or, “for all that thou hast done” e; for and because of all the abominable sins they had been guilty of:<\/p>\n in that thou art a comfort to them<\/strong>; to Sodom and Samaria; countenancing them in their sins; justifying their iniquities, and strengthening their hands in their wickedness, by doing the same, and greater abominations; or in partaking of the same punishment with them, captivity; this being a kind of solace to them, that they were not punished alone; so Jarchi.<\/p>\n e “propter omnia quae fecisti”, Junius & Tremellius, Polanus, Piscator.<\/p>\n Hence we gather from the last verse, that God gave the Jews no hope of safety, but rather confirms their utter destruction, so that no future safety was to be hoped for. For he says, that you may bear thy reproach and become ashamed, namely, because they had sinned grievously, as I have said before, and had not repented of their wickedness. He adds, in consoling them. He speaks after the ordinary manner of men, since the miserable feel some consolation in seeing themselves perish among a great multitude. This then is the consolation of which the Prophet speaks, not that the sorrow of Sodom and Samaria was mitigated when they saw the Jews joined to themselves, but, as I have said, God adopts the common language of men. It follows — <\/p>\n (54) Art a comfort unto them.<\/strong>Compare what was said of justifying them in Eze. 16:51-52<\/span>. The greater sin of Judah became a comfort by throwing their own evil into the shade.<\/p>\n 54<\/strong>. <\/strong> Mayest be confounded in all <\/strong> Literally, mayest be shamed for all. <\/em> (See Eze 16:52<\/span>.) Jerusalem will be ashamed since her superfluity of wickedness can comfort such people as the Sodomites and Samaritans with the idea that they are not very wicked, after all.<\/p>\n Eze 16:54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.<\/p>\n Ver. 54.

Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris; <\/em> to have companions in misery is some kind of comfort.<\/p>\n thou mayest: Eze 16:52, Eze 16:63, Eze 36:31, Eze 36:32, Jer 2:26 <\/p>\n in that: Eze 14:22, Eze 14:23 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Eze 5:7 – neither have done Eze 32:24 – borne<\/p>\n Eze 16:54. Judah had encouraged the inferior nations in their sinful course by the eaxmple she had set. However, while being more or less responsible for the abominable life manifested by the other nations, Judah professed to abhor them in their evil ways. “When the time came that it. would all be changed by the powerful hand of the Lord, Judah was to be humiliated over her own wicked conduct.<\/p>\n 16:54 That thou mayest bear thy own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a {f} comfort to them.<\/p>\n (f) In that you have shown yourself worse than they and yet thought to escape punishment.<\/p>\n That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them. 54.
