The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 18:5-20

The Principle of God's Avenging Justice v. 5. But if a man be just, righteous in all his doing, and do that which is lawful and right, literally, "judgment and righteousness," exercising himself in the demands of the Law of God, v. 6. and hath not eaten upon the mountains, in sacrificial meals consecrated to idols, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, in order to make them objects of confidence, of worshipful supplication, neither hath defiled his neighbor's... read more

7. The Laws of the Divine Punitive Righteousness (Ezekiel 18:0)1, 2And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Why do ye use this proverb upon the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour [wild] grapes, and the teeth of the sons are set on edge? 3As I live—sentence of the Lord Jehovah—if ye shall have occasion to use this proverb longer in Israel 4[ye shall no longer use this proverb]. Behold, all souls to me they [belong]; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 18:1-32

The next prophecy was directed against the false attitude of mind obtaining among the exiled people, which had expressed itself in a proverb, "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." By the use of this proverb they intended to lay the blame of their present suffering on their fathers. While recognizing all the evil which had befallen them as the result of sin, they maintained the attitude of injured innocence, declaring, in effect, that they were bearing... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 18:5-9

The Righteous Father. “But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right, and has not eaten on the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor has defiled his neighbour’s wife, nor has come near to a woman in her separation, and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has spoiled none by violence, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with clothing, he who has not lent at interest to the needy, nor has taken... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 18:5

So far is God from perverse and froward partiality in his judgments, that none ever had cause to complain hereof. If a man, without respect of persons, every one, whoever he be, be just; faultless and unstained, which may refer to his temper and disposition of mind; and if his conversation hath agreed with the law of God and rule of justice in all points, in private and public affairs among men. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 18:6

Hath not committed idolatry, first offering sacrifice, and eating of the things sacrificed to idols, whose temples and altars were on mountains, Ezekiel 20:28; Hosea 4:13, and where the idolaters did use to feed one another in honour of the idol; neither hath adored, nor expected help from the idols: this is a religious posture, as Psalms 121:1. The idols of the house of Israel; they had idols of their own; and some that despised the heathens’ idols yet were polluted with their own idolatry,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 18:7

Hath not oppressed; by rigorous dealing grieve, injure, or damnify, and cause them to cry out, Ezekiel 22:9; Zechariah 7:10, which is done many ways; and how slyly soever it is done, yet it is a crying sin, Exodus 22:21-24. Much of oppression is in detaining what was laid in pawn, which was always of greater value than the thing that was taken upon it; and the poor often pawned their most necessary utensils, and oftentimes needed them ere they could redeem them; in such cases God will not that... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 18:8

Given forth; lent or put into another’s hand, on condition of returning not the same, or equal value, but much more. Upon usury; biting usury, (as the word implieth,) which no doubt is prohibited because of the injury it doth to the borrower, and the undue gain it brings to the lender. A rigorous imposing conditions of gain for the loan of money or goods, and exacting them without respect to the condition of the borrower, whether he gain or lose; whether poverty occasioned his borrowing, or... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 18:9

Walked; framed his life, and managed his conversation, conformed to the good, just, and holy ordinances of God. In my statutes; in matters of religion, hath kept to the direction of God’s law. Kept my judgments, in matters of civil concern between man and man. To deal truly; to act sincerely, with an honest heart, according to the best of his knowledge and judgment. He is just; is just comparatively, so far righteous that he shall not feel, nor need he fear, to suffer what others’ sins bring... read more
