Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 26:41

41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity .

The Hebrew word avon commonly signifies iniquity, but it is oft used for the punishment of iniquity, as here and 1 Sam. 28. 10. Psal. 31. 10. Isa. 53. 6, 11. The meaning is, if they sincerely acknowledge the righteousness of God and their own wickedness, and patiently submit to his correcting hand, and would rather be in their present suffering condition, than in their former sinful, though prosperous, estate; if with David, they are ready to say, it is good for them that they are afflicted, that they may learn Gods statutes, and obedience to them for the future, which is a good evidence of true repentance.
