Ezequiel 18:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:14

Now, lo, [if] he beget a son
That is, the wicked man before mentioned; if he begets a son who proves a good man, which sometimes is the case, as Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, and Josiah the son of Amon: that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done;
not every particular action, but the principal of them; however, the several sorts and kinds of sin he was addicted to, and which were done publicly enough, and obvious to view; and yet does not imitate them, as children are apt to do: and considereth:
the evil nature and tendency of them; how abominable to God; how contrary to his law; how scandalous and reproachful in themselves, and how pernicious and destructive in their effects and consequences. The Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and Arabic versions, read, "and feareth": and doeth not such like;
he fears God; and because the fear of God is before his eyes, and on his heart, which was wanting in his father, therefore he cannot do the things he did; the fear of offending him, the fear of his goodness, and of his judgments, both have an influence to restrain from sin.

Ezequiel 18:14 In-Context

12 oprima al pobre y al indigente, robe y no devuelva la prenda al deudor, y eleve plegarias a los ídolos e incurra en actos repugnantes;

13 que, además, preste dinero con usura y exija intereses. ¿Tal hijo merece vivir? ¡Claro que no! Por haber incurrido en estos actos asquerosos, será condenado a muerte, y de su muerte solo él será responsable.

14 »Ahora bien, ese hijo podría a su vez tener un hijo que observa todos los pecados de su padre, pero no los imita,

15 pues no participa de los banquetes idolátricos en los cerros, ni eleva plegarias a los ídolos de Israel, ni deshonra a la mujer de su prójimo;

16 no oprime a nadie, no roba, devuelve la prenda al deudor, da de comer al hambriento y viste al desnudo;
