29 Contudo, diz a casa de Israel: O caminho do Senhor não é justo. Acaso não são justos os meus caminhos, ó casa de Israel, Não são antes os vossos caminhos que são injustos?

Ezequiel 18:29 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:29

Yet saith the house of Israel, the way of the Lord is not
equal
Though the case was put so many ways, and the thing was made so clear and plain, by the instances given; as, if a man was a just man, let his father be what he would, he should live; but, if his son was a wicked man, he should die; yet, if his son should do well, he should not die for his father's sins, his father only should suffer for his iniquity; and then again, on the one hand, if a seemingly righteous man become an apostate, he should be treated as such; but, on the other hand, if a wicked man repented and reformed, things would go well with him; by all which it most clearly appeared that God did not, and would not, punish children for the sins of their fathers, unless they themselves were guilty of the same; and that the methods of Providence in dealing with men in this world, as they were good or bad, were equal and right, and to be justified: O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
This is an appeal to their own consciences, upon the evidence before given.

Ezequiel 18:29 In-Context

27 Mas, convertendo-se o ímpio da sua impiedade que cometeu, e procedendo com retidão e justiça, conservará este a sua alma em vida.

28 pois que reconsidera, e se desvia de todas as suas transgressões que cometeu, certamente viverá, não morrerá.

29 Contudo, diz a casa de Israel: O caminho do Senhor não é justo. Acaso não são justos os meus caminhos, ó casa de Israel, Não são antes os vossos caminhos que são injustos?

30 Portanto, eu vos julgarei, a cada um conforme os seus caminhos, ó casa de Israel, diz o Senhor Deus. Vinde, e convertei-vos de todas as vossas transgressões, para que a iniqüidade não vos leve � perdição.

31 Lançai de vós todas as vossas transgressões que cometestes contra mim; e criai em vós um coração novo e um espírito novo; pois, por que morrereis, ó casa de Israel,
