Context — Judgment on Jerusalem
56Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,
57before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.
58You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.
59For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant. 60But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.Cross References

Ezekiel 16:58 Summary
This verse means that our sinful actions will have consequences, and we will face God's judgment for them. Just like a child who disobeys their parents will face discipline, we will face the consequences of our disobedience to God, as seen in Ezekiel 16:58. However, as seen in Ezekiel 16:60 and Jeremiah 31:31-34, God's ultimate goal is to restore us and establish a new covenant with us, and He is always willing to forgive us if we turn to Him in repentance. By considering the consequences of our sin, we can seek to live a life that honors God and avoids the judgment that comes with disobedience, and instead, experience His love, mercy, and forgiveness.

Can we escape the consequences of our sin?

What is the purpose of God's judgment?
The purpose of God's judgment is to bring us back to Him, as seen in Ezekiel 16:60, where God remembers His covenant with us and establishes an everlasting covenant, and also in Romans 11:22, where we see that God's kindness is intended to lead us to repentance.
