Ezequiel 18:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:18

[As for] his father
It shall be otherwise with him: because he cruelly oppressed;
or, "oppressed an oppression"; or, "with an oppression" F9; oppressed the poor, and had no mercy on them, but used them in the most rigorous manner: spoiled his brother by violence;
took away the spoil of his brother; spoiled him of his substance; did injury to his person and property, and all the mischief that lay in his power: and did [that] which [is] not good among his people;
neighbours, citizens, and countrymen; did nothing which was good, as he ought to have done; but everything that was bad, which he should not have done: lo, even he shall die in his iniquity:
and for it; it shall not be forgiven him; he shall be punished for it with death, with the death of affliction; and with corporeal death, as a punishment for sin; and with eternal death, dying in his sins, and in a state of impenitence. These instances, put every way, most clearly show the equity of God; the justness of his proceedings in providence; and how inapplicable the proverb in ( Ezekiel 18:2 ) was to them; and that such that sin, and continue therein, shall die for their own iniquities, and not for the sins of others.

Ezequiel 18:18 In-Context

16 nem oprima a ninguém, e não empreste sob penhores, nem roube, porém reparta o seu pão com o faminto, e cubra ao nu com vestido;
17 que aparte da iniqüidade a sua mão, que não receba usura nem mais do que emprestou, que observe as minhas ordenanças e ande nos meus estatutos; esse não morrerá por causa da iniqüidade de seu pai; certamente viverá.
18 Quanto ao seu pai, porque praticou extorsão, e roubou os bens do irmão, e fez o que não era bom no meio de seu povo, eis que ele morrerá na sua iniqüidade.
19 contudo dizeis: Por que não levará o filho a iniqüidade do pai? Ora, se o filho proceder com retidão e justiça, e guardar todos os meus estatutos, e os cumprir, certamente viverá.
20 A alma que pecar, essa morrerá; o filho não levará a iniquidade do pai, nem o pai levará a iniquidade do filho, A justiça do justo ficará sobre ele, e a impiedade do ímpio cairá sobre ele.
