Context — The Covenant Remembered
60But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.
62So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,
63so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 16:62
And I will establish my covenant with thee,.... [See comments on Ezekiel 16:60]; and which is repeated for the comfort of the Lord's people, being ashamed upon the remembrance of their evil ways; and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 16:62
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: I will establish my covenant with thee - (Hosea 2:19-20, "I will betroth thee unto me forever").
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:62
This promise you have . My covenant, in distinction from that is called thy covenant, . With thee, O Israel, first, and then with the Gentiles, as thy children, with all the genuine children of Abraham, father of the faithful. Thou shalt know that I am the Lord: this short sentence contains the sum of all our duty and privileges; it is summarily a promise of grace and glory; it is a sanctifying knowledge to fit us for obedience, and it is a justifying knowledge to deliver us from punishment; it is evangelical knowledge of God, a knowledge which is unto eternal life.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:62
Ezekiel 16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD:Ver. 62. And I will establish my covenant.] My new spiritual and eternal covenant, grounded upon the Messias, and made with the whole Israel according to faith.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:62
(62) Establish my covenant with thee.—The old covenant, having failed, is merged in the new and better covenant promised in 11:19; 18:31; and more fully in Jeremiah 31:31-34. This new covenant, established through a perfect Mediator, can alone perfectly fulfil God’s gracious designs for man, although the way for it must necessarily have been prepared by the less perfect covenant of old.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 16:62
62. I will establish] “I” is emphatic, in opposition to “not by thy covenant.” The new covenant will shew that which Jehovah is better than all his chastisements.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 16:62
62. I will establish — “I” is emphatic in opposition to “not by thy covenant.”
