Ezekiel 36:33 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Committed sin, that deserveth, and imputed sin, that doth bring down, judgments on the sinner, so did the Jews 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 country, but sinners repenting and pardoned shall build the wastes. Sin unpardoned leaves the land untilled and barren, but pardoned ones shall plough, sow, reap, and eat.
