Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:21

"But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done, he shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 18:21

21-24. Two last cases, showing the equity of God: (1) The penitent sinner is dealt with according to his new obedience, not according to his former sins. (2) The righteous man who turns from righteousness to sin shall be punished for the latter, and his former righteousness will be of no avail to him. he shall surely live—Despair drives men into hardened recklessness; God therefore allures men to repentance by holding out hope [CALVIN]. To threats the stubborn sinner oft is hard, Wrapt in his... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 18:19-23

The first objection: God’s conduct 18:19-23God proceeded to adopt a dialogical teaching style in which He both asked and answered questions about individual responsibility. This style is quite similar to the Greek diatribe, which Paul used frequently in his writings (e.g., in Romans). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 18:21-22

If a wicked person repented of his wickedness and pursued righteous behavior, he would live and not die. God would pardon his sins because he had turned from them and practiced righteousness. For the Jews still in Jerusalem this might mean deliverance from death at the hands of Babylon’s invading soldiers.This did not mean that doing good works would atone for past sins eternally. It meant that doing good works could preclude God’s judgment of premature physical death, a judgment promised under... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:1-32

God’s Equity vindicatedThe popular view of Israel’s calamities, as expressed in a current proverb, was that they were the punishment of the sins of former generations. Though there was a measure of truth in this, the proverb was used in a false and mischievous sense. It led the present generation to ignore their own sin, to doubt the justice of God’s providence, to despair of escape from the working of a blind fate. Ezekiel, consequently, emphasised in the strongest way the truths of individual... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 18:21

(21) If the wicked will turn.—The prophet now takes up the fourth and last case—that of a change in the individual character. This has necessarily two sub-divisions: (1) that of the wicked repenting and doing righteousness (Ezekiel 18:21-23, and Ezekiel 18:27-28), and (2) that of the righteous falling into wickedness, (Ezekiel 18:24-26), which latter case is more briefly treated, because the object is to encourage hope in repentance. This case, in both its parts, is first treated in Ezekiel... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 18:1-32

Ezekiel 18:2 There is no doubt about the sins of the fathers falling upon the generation in the case of an illegitimate child. No book has ever been written, no law has ever been made there is not one dissentient voice in the chorus of rebuke, not one hand to help, or one lamp to lead the way, when a love-child is cast into the world. There must be thousands of these nameless ocean-tramps cast away on the broad sea of existence; overloaded, until their water-line has vanished, with their... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 18:1-32

THE RELIGION OF THE INDIVIDUALEzekiel 18:1-32IN the sixteenth chapter, as we have seen, Ezekiel has asserted in the most unqualified terms the validity of the principle of national retribution. The nation is dealt with as a moral unit, and the catastrophe which closes its history is the punishment for the accumulated guilt incurred by the past generations. In the eighteenth chapter he teaches still more explicitly the freedom and the independent responsibility of each individual before God. No... read more

Ezekiel 19:1-14 . This lamentation has two sections. The lamentations for the princes come first (Ezekiel 19:1-9 ), and that is followed by the lamentation for the land of Judah (Ezekiel 19:10-14 ). The princes are Jehoahaz and Jehoiachin. King Jehoahaz was carried away captive into Egypt 2 Kings 23:33 ; his fate is lamented in Ezekiel 19:1-4 . King Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon and he is lamented in Ezekiel 19:5-9 . In the lamentation for the land of Judah the vine is once more mentioned.... read more
