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 Mas si engendrare hijo ladrón, derramador de sangre, o que haga alguna cosa de éstas,

11 Y que no haga las otras; antes comiere sobre los montes, o violare la mujer de su prójimo,

12 al pobre y menesteroso oprimiere, cometiere robos, no tornare la prenda, o alzare sus ojos a los ídolos, o hiciere abominación,

13 diere a usura, y recibiere más de lo que dio; ¿vivirá éste? No vivirá. Todas estas abominaciones hizo; de cierto morirá; su sangre será sobre él.

14 Pero si éste engendrare hijo, el cual viere todos los pecados que su padre hizo, y viéndolos no hiciere según ellos;
