Ezekiel 18:11 — Meaning and Application

Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he {is} just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

If he beget a son {that is} a robber, a shedder of blood, and {that} doeth the like to {any} one of these {things}, {robber: or, breaker up of an house} {that doeth...: or, that doeth to his brother besides any of these}

And that doeth not any of those {duties}, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,

Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,

Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. {blood: Heb. bloods}
