Ezekiel 16:62-63
62 “And I will establish My covenant with you. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, 63 that you may remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide you an atonement for all you have done,” says the Lord God.”

When God makes a new covenant by means of the blood of Christ for us and we enter our part in that covenant, we are as His bride who can never have that covenant broken by divorce as people do. He takes away our shame of sin because Jesus completely and utterly paid the price in our place. This is what the New Testament is - the reconciliation with God for our rebellious disobedience against His law by Christ paying the debt in our place. No more shame or punishment. He promised this to His people long ago, brought it to reality in Christ, and offers to the all children of Abraham now, who are every nation on this earth.
