Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ezek 18:7
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Ezek 18:7 · Douay-Rheims
“And hath not wronged any man: but hath restored the pledge to the debtor, hath taken nothing away by violence: hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment:”
On this verse:
“restored . . . pledge--that which the poor debtor absolutely needed; as his raiment, which the creditor was bound to restore before sunset (Exo 22:26-27), and his millstone, which was needed for preparing his food (Deu 24:6, Deu 24:10-13). bread to . . . hungry . . . covered . . . naked-- (Isa 58:7; Mat 25:35-36). After duties of justice come those of benevolence. It is not enough to refrain from doing a wrong to our neighbor, we must also do him good. The bread owned by a man, though "his," is given to him, not to keep to himself, but to impart to the needy.”
