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 But lives by my statutes and faithfully honors and obeys my laws. This person who lives upright and well shall live a full and true life. Decree of God, the Master.
10 "But if this person has a child who turns violent and murders and goes off and does any of these things,
11 even though the parent has done none of them - eats at the pagan shrines, seduces his neighbor's spouse,
12 bullies the weak, steals, piles up bad debts, admires idols, commits outrageous obscenities,
13 exploits the poor " - do you think this person, the child, will live? Not a chance! Because he's done all these vile things, he'll die. And his death will be his own fault.
