Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 3:18-21

This passage anticipates the great moral principle of divine government Ezekiel 18:0 that each man is individually responsible for his own actions, and will be judged according to these and these alone.Ezekiel 3:20I lay a stumblingblock before him - I bring him to trial by placing difficulties and temptations in his way (compare Ezekiel 7:19; Ezekiel 44:12 margin; Ezekiel 14:3-4). It is true that God tempts no man in order to his destruction, but in the course of His Providence He permits men... read more

Ezekiel 3:20-21. Again, When a righteous man One truly righteous, and devoted to the love and service of God in heart and life; one whose person is justified, whose nature is renewed, and whose practice is conformed to God’s holy will; doth turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity Which the Scriptures show to be very possible, and experience and observation demonstrate to be a case not uncommon. And I lay a stumbling-block before him Such a temptation to sin as he might have... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:16-27

A faithful watchman (3:16-27)As a watchman warns people in the city of a coming attack, so Ezekiel was to warn the exiles, so that they might turn away from sin and be saved from further calamity (16-17). If Ezekiel gave a warning and people ignored it, those people would bear the responsibility for their own death. But if Ezekiel failed to give the warning, Ezekiel would be held responsible for their death, and would himself suffer the death penalty (18-21).Before Ezekiel began his ministry,... read more

Ezekiel 3:20. And I lay a stumbling-block before him— And if when I bring ruin upon him, he shall die because thou hast not given him warning; he shall die, &c. Houbigant.

20. righteous . . . turn from . . . righteousness—not one "righteous" as to the root and spirit of regeneration (Psalms 89:33; Psalms 138:8; Isaiah 26:12; Isaiah 27:3; John 10:28; Philippians 1:6), but as to its outward appearance and performances. So the "righteous" (Proverbs 18:17; Matthew 9:13). As in Ezekiel 3:19 the minister is required to lead the wicked to good, so in Ezekiel 3:19- : he is to confirm the well-disposed in their duty. commit iniquity—that is, give himself up wholly to it... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 3:20

Similarly if a righteous person turned to sin and Ezekiel failed to warn him of its consequences, even though the Lord would put him to death, the Lord would hold Ezekiel responsible for not warning him. The obstacle that the Lord promised to put in the path of the righteous man who had turned aside to sin was the warning that Ezekiel should provide."The saint needs the watchman’s warnings as much as the sinner does."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 3:21

On the other hand, if Ezekiel warned a righteous person and he heeded the warning, he would live, and Ezekiel would be free of any guilt before the Lord."The duties of Habakkuk (Habakkuk 2:1), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 6:17), and Isaiah (Isaiah 56:10) were far more national and corporate than individual. Ezekiel realized that from that time on his would be a mission mainly to individuals." [Note: Feinberg, p. 29.] "The responsibility of a believer in Christ today to share the word of life, salvation,... read more
