Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 18:11
And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
11. and that doeth not ] Fairer: and he hath not done any of these things, but even hath eaten, &c. The things which he hath not done are those in Eze 18:6-9 regarded as positive commandments. The words naturally refer to the wicked son. They are incompatible with those in the end of Eze 18:10, if these be said of the son. Syr., feeling the incompatibility, omits. It is easier, however, to omit the words in Eze 18:10, as a gloss from Lev 4:2, because the words “but even hath eaten” require a negative clause before them.

but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife; has been guilty of idolatry and adultery;

11. That doeth not any of those duties “These things” and “those duties” are exactly the same word. This man has done the things the just man would not do (Eze 18:6-8), and has not done the things the just man would do (Eze 18:8-9). After this general statement the enumeration of his crimes of commission begins. There is a division of thought in the middle of Eze 18:11 which is not indicated by the English punctuation.

Ver. 11. And that doth not any of these duties. ] Bare omissions may undo a man. Not robbing only, but the not relieving of the poor, was the rich man’s ruin.
