Ezequiel 18:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:12

Hath oppressed the poor and needy
Who are weak, and have none to help them, and stand by them, and so are oppressed by such a man. This serves to explain the clause, in ( Ezekiel 18:7 ) ; hath spoiled by violence;
his neighbour's goods; taken them away from him by force: hath not restored the pledge;
to the borrower before sunset, but kept it for his own use; taking the advantage of the poverty of him that borrowed of him: and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols;
whether of the Gentiles, or of the house of Israel: hath committed abomination;
either idolatry, the sin just before mentioned, which was an abomination to the Lord; or else approaching to a menstruous woman, since this follows the other in ( Ezekiel 18:6 ) ; and is not mentioned, unless it is designed here; and so Kimchi interprets it; but Jarchi understands it of the abominable and detestable sin of sodomy: it may regard any and every sin that is abominable in the sight of God.

Ezequiel 18:12 In-Context

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

11 Ese hijo también comete todas las maldades que su padre jamás haría: rinde culto a ídolos en los montes, comete adulterio,

12 oprime a los pobres e indefensos, roba a los deudores al negarles que recuperen sus garantías, rinde culto a ídolos, comete pecados detestables

13 y presta dinero con intereses excesivos. ¿Acaso debería vivir ese pecador? ¡No! Tiene que morir y asumir toda la culpa.

14 »Pero supongamos que ese hijo pecador, a su vez, tiene un hijo que ve la maldad de su padre y decide no llevar esa clase de vida.
