Context — A Prophecy to the Mountains of Israel
13For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’
14therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.
15I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”
16Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17“Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.Cross References

Ezekiel 36:15 Summary
[According to Ezekiel 36:15, God promises to protect Israel from the scorn and ridicule of other nations, and to remove the shame and humiliation that Israel has suffered. This promise is a reminder that God is always with His people, and that He will ultimately bring them honor and glory, as seen in Isaiah 60:1-3. Just like Israel, we as believers can trust in God's promise to care for and protect us, and to bring us out of darkness and into the light, as seen in Psalm 23:4 and Romans 8:28.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the nations to 'taunt' Israel in Ezekiel 36:15?
The taunts of the nations refer to the scorn and ridicule that other countries have directed towards Israel, but according to Ezekiel 36:15, God will put an end to this, just as He promised to bless and protect Israel in Ezekiel 34:25-31 and as seen in Isaiah 54:15.
How does Israel 'cause its nation to stumble'?
Israel causes its nation to stumble when its people turn away from God's laws and commands, leading to sin and rebellion, as seen in Ezekiel 14:3-7 and Deuteronomy 32:4-6, but God promises to put an end to this in Ezekiel 36:15.
What does 'the reproach of the peoples' mean in this verse?
The reproach of the peoples refers to the shame and humiliation that Israel has suffered at the hands of other nations, but God promises to remove this shame and restore Israel's honor, as seen in Isaiah 25:8 and Ezekiel 36:15.
How does God's promise in Ezekiel 36:15 relate to His overall plan for Israel?
God's promise to end the taunts of the nations and remove Israel's reproach is part of His larger plan to restore and redeem Israel, as seen in Ezekiel 36:22-32 and Romans 11:25-27, and is a testament to His faithfulness and love for His people.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I, as a believer, can experience the protection and care of God, just like Israel in Ezekiel 36:15?
- How can I trust in God's promise to remove shame and humiliation from my life, and what does this promise mean for me today?
- In what ways can I, as a part of God's people, work to bring honor and glory to His name, rather than causing others to stumble?
- What does it mean to 'stumble' as a nation or as an individual, and how can I avoid this in my own life, according to Ezekiel 36:15 and other scriptures?

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:15
Ezekiel 36:15 Neither will I cause [men] to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.Ver. 15. Neither will I cause men to hear.] I will cut off all occasions, and remove all such stumblingblocks as whereat the nations dash and split themselves.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:15
(15) Cause . . . to fall.—In the last four verses there is a delicate play upon words which cannot well be expressed in English. Two verbs are used, each of them twice (“bereave” in Ezekiel 36:14 should be cause to fall, as in margin), one of them meaning to bereave, the other to cause to fall; and these verbs have the same radical letters, but with the first two of them transposed. In reviewing this whole prophecy (Ezekiel 35:1 to Ezekiel 36:15), it is evident that the time had in view by the prophet was one in which Edom still existed as a nation, and was rejoicing in the fall of Israel. It cannot, therefore, look forward to any literal, but still future, accomplishment, since Edom, as a nation, has long since disappeared; and no future people, occupying the same territory or bearing the same name, could possibly sustain the same historic relations to Israel as are here attributed to Edom. Whatever, therefore, is to be literally understood in the prophecy must have been long ago fulfilled. And this was much. Israel was restored to its land, and there greatly multiplied, so that the country became for ages one of the most fertile and prosperous in Asia. At the same time, the sinfulness of the people, as of old, hindered the fulness of blessing that was within their reach. But a small part of them availed themselves of the opportunity to return to their land; and they who did so suffered themselves so to live that when the crowning blessing of the ages was fulfilled in the coming of the Messiah, the mass of the nation rejected and crucified Him. The blessings promised were fulfilled literally as far as the sinfulness of the people allowed; but inasmuch as these prevented anything like the full realisation of the terms of the prophecy, and as no future realisation of these is possible, on account of the total change of conditions and circumstances, it is plain that under these earthly terms the prophet, like his predecessors, Isaiah and the others, sets forth the glories of the spiritual future, and uses earthly blessings as the types of those better ones which are heavenly.
Ezekiel 36:16-38 constitute a separate prophecy, but one closely connected with that which has gone before. It is here declared that Israel has been scattered among the heathen because they had defiled the land by their sin (Ezekiel 36:16-19); then, that although they had yet further profaned God’s name among the heathen, He yet had pity for that name’s sake (Ezekiel 36:20-23); and, accordingly, that He will gather and restore Israel, cleansing them from their sins, and giving them a heart to keep His commandments (Ezekiel 36:24-32); and in consequence of this change that He will greatly bless them (Ezekiel 36:35-38). The great point of the prophecy is the moral change foretold in Ezekiel 36:25-27; Ezekiel 36:31.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 36:15
15. Read peoples for people, as usual. cause thy nations to fall] Rather: bereave thy nation any more. The same word is read Ezekiel 36:14, but corrected in Heb. marg., and the same correction should be made here (shakal = bereave, kashal = fall). The clause is wanting in LXX.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 36:15
Hear in thee the shame of the pagan - Hear the pagan putting thee to shame by their contemptuous words.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:15
15. Neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall — R.V., “neither shalt thou cause thy nation to stumble;” but by slight change of text read, “neither shalt thou bereave thy nation any more,” or,
