God defends his justice31. and exhorts to repentance He engages in usury and takes excess interest. In ancient Israel, the practice of charging interest on loans, especially to fellow Israelites, was strictly regulated. The Law of Moses prohibited usury among the Israelites (Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:36-37). This prohibition was intended to promote social justice and prevent the exploitation of the poor. Usury, or charging excessive interest, was seen as a form of greed and exploitation, contrary to the communal and covenantal values of Israel. The prophets often condemned such practices as part of their broader critique of social injustice (Isaiah 3:14-15, Amos 2:6-7). 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. Persons / Places / Events 1. EzekielA prophet during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel conveyed God's messages to the Israelites, emphasizing personal responsibility and repentance. 2. Israelites The audience of Ezekiel's prophecies, who were in exile due to their disobedience and idolatry. 3. Babylonian Exile The period when the Israelites were taken captive by Babylon, serving as a backdrop for Ezekiel's prophecies. Teaching Points Personal ResponsibilityEach individual is accountable for their own actions and cannot blame others for their sins. This calls for self-examination and repentance. God's Justice God's justice is impartial and righteous. He holds each person accountable according to their deeds, emphasizing the importance of living a life that aligns with His commands. The Consequences of Sin Sin has serious consequences, both spiritually and physically. Understanding this should motivate believers to pursue righteousness and avoid actions that lead to spiritual death. Compassionate Living The prohibition against charging interest to fellow Israelites teaches us to live compassionately and justly, prioritizing the well-being of others over personal gain. Repentance and Redemption While the passage warns of death for sin, it also implies the possibility of redemption through repentance, encouraging believers to turn back to God.(13) Hath done all these abominations.--This expression is collective, while that in Ezekiel 18:10 is partitive. This is not because he who commits one sin is considered as having committed all, but because he who willingly commits any sin thereby puts himself into the class of sinners, of those who do not wish or intend to abide by the Divine will, but choose rather to do their own. Such a man places himself among the enemies of God. (Comp. James 2:10.)Verse 13. - One holes the special emphasis, first of the question, and then of the direct negative, as though that, in the judgment alike of God and man, was the only answer that could be given to it in the very words of the Law (Leviticus 20:9, 11, 13).
