He also promises to give us good things, like food and water, so we can live happy and healthy lives (Isaiah 41:17). As believers, we can trust that God will provide for our needs, just as He promises in Philippians 4:19.]

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 36:29

And I will also save you from all your uncleannesses,.... From all their filthy lusts of pride, envy, malice, covetousness, whoredom, blasphemy, and infidelity, to which the Jews are now addicted;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 36:29

I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:29

Perhaps the former part of this verse would have been better joined with the former verse, as a glorious fruit of God’ s taking them to be his people, and his condescending to be their God. Salvation from all uncleannesses includeth justification, in our pardon, sanctification, the renewing our minds, somewhat of adoption in peace and hope, and a consummate glorification in heaven, that state of absolute purity. All this God gives when he is our God. Corn; all necessaries for aliment comprised in one, and these brought to them at God’ s call, which they will hear, ,40 Hosea 2:21,22. Famine is God’ s arrow, he shoots it; where it is, he layeth it; but his people shall neither have it their misery nor their reproach any more; as in the next verse.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:29

Ezekiel 36:29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.Ver. 29. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses.] This is often promised, because not easily believed. No article of our creed is so much opposed by Satan, as that of the forgiveness of sin by Christ’ s merits, which is the very life and soul of a Church. All the former articles of the creed are perfected in this, and all the following articles are effects thereof: hold it fast, therefore. And I will call for the corn.] I have it at my call, and a mandamus from me will do it at any time. See Hosea 2:21-22. And lay no famine.] Which comes also at God Almighty’ s call.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:29

(29) Your uncleannesses.—In Ezekiel 36:25 they had already been made clean, and in Ezekiel 36:26 a new heart had been given them; why, then, was there yet further need of cleansing? This cannot, therefore, refer to the idolatries from which they had been already purged, but is plain enough if understood of that ordinary sinfulness of man which, being continually renewed, needs continual forgiveness.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 36:29
