Ezekiel 18:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:11

And that doeth not any of those [duties]
Before mentioned, which his father did, but the reverse of them; and so the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, "and in the way of his righteous father does not walk"; does not tread in his steps, and work righteousness as he did: but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's
wife;
has been guilty of idolatry and adultery; (See Gill on Ezekiel 18:6).

Ezekiel 18:11 In-Context

9 He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live, declares the Lord GOD.

10 Now suppose that man has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these things,

11 though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his neighbor’s wife.

12 He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.

13 He engages in usury and takes excess interest. Will this son live? He will not! Since he has committed all these abominations, he will surely die; his blood will be on his own head.
