Yet . . . a remnant--not of righteous persons, but some of the guilty who should "come forth" from the destruction of Jerusalem to Babylon, to lead a life of hopeless exile there. The reference here is to judgment, not mercy, as Eze 14:23 shows.
ye shall see their . . . doings; and . . . be comforted--Ye, the exiles at the Chebar, who now murmur at God's judgment about to be inflicted on Jerusalem as harsh, when ye shall see the wicked "ways" and character of the escaped remnant, shall acknowledge that both Jerusalem and its inhabitants deserved their fate; his recognition of the righteousness of the judgment will reconcile you to it, and so ye shall be "comforted" under it [CALVIN]. Then would follow mercy to the elect remnant, though that is not referred to here, but in Eze 20:43. |

| Their way - Their sin and their punishment. Comforted - In this proof of the truth of God. |

| Behold, they shall come forth unto you - Though there shall be great desolations in the land of Judea, yet a remnant shall be left that shall come here also as captives; and their account of the abominations of the people shall prove to you with what propriety I have acted in abandoning them to such general destruction. This speech is addressed to those who were already in captivity; i.e., those who had been led to Babylon with their king Jeconiah. |
43 And there shall ye remember [02142] your ways [01870], and all your doings [05949], wherein ye have been defiled [02930]; and ye shall lothe [06962] yourselves in your own sight [06440] for all your evils [07451] that ye have committed [06213].
23 And they shall comfort [05162] you, when ye see [07200] their ways [01870] and their doings [05949]: and ye shall know [03045] that I have not done [06213] without cause [02600] all that I have done [06213] in it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
