Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
But here's the thing, I still remember the promises I made to you when you were young, and I'm going to make a new covenant with you that lasts forever.
God never forgets his promises to you, even when you've forgotten him.
📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was prophesying to the Jewish people during their exile in Babylon in the 6th century BC, a time when they were suffering the consequences of their unfaithfulness to God. In this verse, God is reminding Israel of the original covenant made during their early days as a nation, when He delivered them from slavery in Egypt. Despite Israel's repeated idolatry and rebellion, God promises to uphold and renew this covenant as an act of His unchanging grace.
