Ezequiel 33:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:15

If the wicked restore the pledge
His neighbour's raiment, which he has taken as a pledge for money lent him; and which, according to the law, was to be restored before sunset, ( Exodus 22:26 Exodus 22:27 ) which wicked men did not attend unto; but when such a man is brought to a sense of his wickedness, and repentance for it, as an evidence of it he would restore the pledge: and give again that he had robbed;
to him whom he had robbed; as a thief was obliged to do, four or five fold, according to the law, ( Exodus 22:1 ) , and which, when a man did voluntarily, from the convictions of his own mind, and not by force of the civil magistrate, it was a sign of true repentance; see ( Luke 19:8 ) : and walk in the statutes of life;
the rule of life and conversation, and to the keeping of which the promise of long life is annexed; and which preserve persons from dying a shameful death by the hand of the civil magistrate; statutes, which, if a man do, he shall live in them; see ( Ezekiel 20:11 ) : without committing iniquity;
not living entirely without sin, which the best of men do not; but without committing grosser sins, as before; and without making a trade of sinning, and living in it: he shall surely live, he shall not die;
he shall live comfortably now, and happily hereafter; he shall live a spiritual life, and not die the second death.

Ezequiel 33:15 In-Context

13 Si yo le digo al justo: ‘¡Vivirás!’, pero él se atiene a su propia justicia y hace lo malo, no se le tomará en cuenta su justicia, sino que morirá por la maldad que cometió.

14 En cambio, si le digo al malvado: ‘¡Morirás!’, pero luego él se convierte de su pecado y actúa con justicia y rectitud,

15 y devuelve lo que tomó en prenda y restituye lo que robó, y obedece los preceptos de vida, sin cometer ninguna iniquidad, ciertamente vivirá y no morirá.

16 No se le tomará en cuenta ninguno de los pecados que antes cometió, sino que vivirá por haber actuado con justicia y rectitud”.

17 »Los hijos de tu pueblo dicen: “El SEÑOR no actúa con justicia”. En realidad, los que no actúan con justicia son ellos.
