Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 36:33

33 Thus saith the Lord GOD; in the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities, I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.

Sin committed, that deserveth, and sin imputed, that doth bring down Judgments on the sinner, so did the Iews sins, and continued the Punishment in those Judgments, until a Pardon take away Guilt, and then Judgments will be removed; so here, pardoned Captives return to, and dwell in their own Cities; Sin unpardoned wasted the Countrey, but Sinners repenting and pardon'd shall build the wastes. Sin unpardon'd leaves the land Untilled and Barren, but pardon'd ones shall Plough, Sow, Reap, and Eat.
