Ezequiel 18:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:8

He [that] hath not given forth upon usury
Money, victuals, or any other thing, which was forbidden the Jews to take of their brethren, though they might of strangers, ( Deuteronomy 23:19 Deuteronomy 23:20 ) ; neither hath taken any increase:
or interest; or rather something over and above the interest money or use, as a gratuity for lending it upon the said interest: [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity;
not only that now mentioned, but all others; who, having inadvertently engaged in that which is sinful, as soon as it appears to him to be so, gets out of it, and abstains from it as soon as possible: hath executed true judgment between man and man;
whether in office as a judge, who sits on the bench for that purpose; or as an arbitrator chosen to decide matters in controversy between one man and another, and that does everything just and right between man and man.

Ezequiel 18:8 In-Context

6 No participa en los banquetes que se ofrecen en los montes ante los ídolos de Israel
ni les rinde culto. No comete adulterio ni tiene relaciones sexuales con una mujer durante su período menstrual.

7 Es un acreedor compasivo, no se queda con objetos entregados en garantía por deudores pobres. No les roba a los pobres, más bien, les da de comer a los hambrientos y les da ropa a los necesitados.

8 Presta dinero sin cobrar interés, se mantiene lejos de la injusticia, es honesto e imparcial al juzgar a otros

9 y obedece fielmente mis decretos y ordenanzas. Todo el que hace estas cosas es justo y ciertamente vivirá, dice el Señor
Soberano.

10 »Pero supongamos que ese hombre tiene un hijo adulto que es ladrón o asesino y se niega a hacer lo correcto.
