Context of Ezekiel 18:11

9He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live, declares the Lord GOD. 10Now suppose that man has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these things, though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his neighbor’s wife. 12He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations. 13He engages in usury and takes excess interest. Will this son live? He will not! Since he has committed all these abominations, he will surely die; his blood will be on his own head.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 18:11

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9-13Verses 9-13 Live … die - In the writings of Ezekiel there is a development of the meaning of “life” and “death.” In the holy land the sanctions of divine government were in great degree temporal; so that the promise of “life” for “obedience,” the threatening of “death” for “disobedience,” in the Books of Moses, were regarded simply as temporal and national. In their exile this could not continue in its full extent, and the universality of the misfortune…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-13If the son of a righteous man (a man who lives in a right way before God) does not follow God’s ways or his father’s example, he is responsible for his own sin. If his life is completely different from what his father believed and practiced, he will bear his own guilt. He will face God’s judgment for his own actions.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-1310-13. The second case is that of an impious son of a pious father. His pious parentage, so far from excusing, aggravates his guilt. robber--or literally, "a breaker," namely, through all constraints of right. doeth the like to any one--The Hebrew and the parallel (Eze 18:18) require us to translate rather, "doeth to his brother any of these things," namely, the things which follow in Eze 18:11, &c.
