Ezechiël 18:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:7

And hath not oppressed any
By fraud or force, particularly the poor, to the great grief and hurt of them: [but] hath restored to the debtor his pledge;
which was pawned; not embezzling it, or keeping it beyond the time fixed by the law of God, ( Deuteronomy 24:12 Deuteronomy 24:13 ) ( Exodus 22:26 ) ; hath spoiled none by violence;
has not committed theft and robbery, or done injury to any man's person and property: hath given his bread to the hungry;
which was his own; what he had laboured for, and come by honestly, and so had a right to dispose of; and being merciful, as well as just, eats not his morsel alone, but distributes it to the poor and hungry, ( Isaiah 58:7 ) ; and hath covered the naked with a garment;
as Job did, as well as the former, and for which Dorcas is commended, ( Job 31:17-20 ) ( Acts 9:39 ) .

Ezechiël 18:7 In-Context

5 Wanneer nu iemand rechtvaardig is, en doet recht en gerechtigheid;
6 Niet eet op de bergen, en zijn ogen niet opheft tot de drekgoden van het huis Israels; noch de huisvrouw zijns naasten verontreinigt, noch tot de afgezonderde vrouw nadert;
7 En niemand verdrukt, den schuldenaar zijn pand wedergeeft, geen roof rooft, den hongerige zijn brood geeft, en den naakte met kleding bedekt;
8 Niet geeft op woeker, noch overwinst neemt, zijn hand van onrecht afkeert, waarachtig recht tussen den een en den anderen oefent;
9 In Mijn inzettingen wandelt, en Mijn rechten onderhoudt, om trouwelijk te handelen; die rechtvaardige zal gewisselijk leven, spreekt de Heere HEERE.
