Ezekiel 39:26

after that … borne Rather: And they shall bear their shame. The phrase "bear shame" is not used in the sense of bearing the outward disgrace (Ezekiel 32:24-25; Ezekiel 32:30; Ezekiel 34:29; Ezekiel 36:7), but in the sense of bearing the inward feeling of unworthiness, which the undeserved goodness of Jehovah creates (Ezekiel 16:52; Ezekiel 16:54). The word "bear" is written defectively and by a change of a "tittle" might mean "forget." While "forget their shame" however might well be said, shame meaning reproach (Isaiah 54:4), "forget their trespasses," implying complete obliteration of the unhappy past, is so powerful an idea that it causes surprise. Either idea is beautiful; whether the idea be that the redeemed people sit in abashed gladness, the memory of former evil adding depth to the gladness, or whether it be that the assurance that Jehovah is their God (Ezekiel 39:22) is so exalted that the memory of former sad days is wholly wiped out by it.

when they dwelt … afraid when they dwell with confidence … and none maketh them afraid. Reference is to the time of restoration.
