Eze 13:21<\/span>, Eze 20:11<\/span>; Lev 18:5<\/span>. As elsewhere “life” is used in the pregnant sense of enjoyment of the favour of God and the external prosperity which is the reflection and seal of it.<\/p>\n See Eze 18:7<\/span>,9<\/span>. <\/P> Without committing iniquity:<\/B> it is not a sinless life here required or supposed, but a life in which a man doth not habitually and wilfully work iniquity. <\/P> <\/p>\n 15. give again that he had robbed<\/B>(Lu 19:8<\/span>). <\/P> statutes of life<\/B>in theobeying of which life is promised (Le18:5<\/span>). If the law has failed to give life to man, it has not beenthe fault of the law, but of man’s sinful inability to keep it(Rom 7:10<\/span>; Rom 7:12<\/span>;Gal 3:21<\/span>). It becomes life-givingthrough Christ’s righteous obedience to it (2Co3:6<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n If the wicked restore the pledge<\/strong>,…. His neighbour’s raiment, which he has taken as a pledge for money lent him; and which, according to the law, was to be restored before sunset, Ex 22:26<\/span> which wicked men did not attend unto; but when such a man is brought to a sense of his wickedness, and repentance for it, as an evidence of it he would restore the pledge:<\/p>\n and give again that he had robbed<\/strong>; to him whom he had robbed; as a thief was obliged to do, four or five fold, according to the law, Ex 22:1<\/span>, and which, when a man did voluntarily, from the convictions of his own mind, and not by force of the civil magistrate, it was a sign of true repentance; see Lu 19:8<\/span>:<\/p>\n and walk in the statutes of life<\/strong>; the rule of life and conversation, and to the keeping of which the promise of long life is annexed; and which preserve persons from dying a shameful death by the hand of the civil magistrate; statutes, which, if a man do, he shall live in them; see<\/p>\n Eze 20:11<\/span>:<\/p>\n without committing iniquity<\/strong>; not living entirely without sin, which the best of men do not; but without committing grosser sins, as before; and without making a trade of sinning, and living in it:<\/p>\n he shall surely live, he shall not die<\/strong>; he shall live comfortably now, and happily hereafter; he shall live a spiritual life, and not die the second death.<\/p>\n Eze 33:15<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>If the wicked restore, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> Robbery and violence would be too gainful a trade, if a man might quit all scores by repentance, and detain all he has gotten; or if the father’s repentance might serve the turn, and the benefit of the transgression be transmitted as an inheritance to the son. If the pledge remained, it must be restored; the retaining of it is committing a new iniquity, and forfeits any benefit of the promise. If he have it not, nor be able to procure it, his hearty repentance will be accepted through the blood of the covenant, without reparation: but to enjoy and to look every day upon the spoil, and yet to profess repentance is an affront to God Almighty, and a greater sin than the first act of violence, when he did not pretend to think of him, and so did not think of displeasing him. Whereas now he pretends to reconcile himself to God, and mocks him with repentance, while he retains the fruit of his wickedness with the same pleasure that he committed it. <\/p>\n Eze 33:15<\/span> [If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.<\/p>\n Ver. 15. Give again that he had robbed.<\/strong> ] Quod rapuit reddideret.<\/em> The law for restitution, see Num 5:6-7<\/span> .<\/p>\n restore the pledge, he. Reference to Pentateuch (Exo 22:26. Lev 6:2, Lev 6:4, Lev 6:5. Deu 24:6, Deu 24:10-13, Deu 24:17). <\/p>\n give again. Note the Figure of speech Asyndeton (App-6), hurrying on to the climax at end of verse. <\/p>\n he shall surely live. Reference to Pentateuch (Lev 18:5). <\/p>\n he shall not die. Note the Figure of speech Pleonasm (App-6), for emphasis. <\/p>\n restore: “The sin is not forgiven, unless that which is taken away be restored,” says Augustine. Eze 18:7, Eze 18:12, Eze 18:16, Exo 22:26, Exo 22:27, Deu 24:6, Deu 24:10-13, Deu 24:17, Job 22:6, Job 24:3, Job 24:9, Amo 2:8 <\/p>\n give: Exo 22:1-4, Lev 6:2-5, Num 5:6-8, Luk 19:8 <\/p>\n walk: Eze 20:11, Eze 20:13, Eze 20:21, Lev 18:5, Psa 119:93, Luk 1:6 <\/p>\n he shall: Eze 18:27, Eze 18:28, Rev 22:12-14 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 20:3 – a dead Deu 24:13 – deliver Eze 18:9 – walked Eze 18:17 – he shall surely Tit 2:12 – denying<\/p>\n Eze 33:15. This verse teaches the same lesson as the preceding ones, but it goes into particulars and specifies certain things the wicked man must do in order to obtain divine mercy and be made reconciled to the Lord.<\/p>\n Eze 33:15. If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed It is a necessary condition of obtaining pardon, that men make restitution of what they have unjustly gotten from others. The law is express to this purpose, Lev 6:5, where the offender is required to add a fifth part to the principal, and give it to him to whom it appertaineth; see the note there. To the same purpose is that received rule among the Christian casuists, taken from St. Augustin, Epistle 54., Non dimittitur peccatum, nisi restituatur ablatum. The sin is not forgiven, unless what is taken away be restored. Lord Clarendons observations on this subject are peculiarly excellent: Robbery and violence would be too gainful a trade, if a man might quit all scores by repentance, and detain all he hath gotten; or if the fathers repentance might serve the turn, and the benefit of the transgression be transmitted as an inheritance to the son. If the pledge remained it must be restored; the retaining it is committing a new iniquity, and forfeits any benefit of the promise. If he hath it not, nor is able to procure it, his hearty repentance is enough without reparation: but to enjoy the spoil, and yet to profess repentance, is an affront to God Almighty, and a greater sin than the first act of violence, when he did not pretend to think of God, and so did not think of displeasing him. Whereas now he pretends to reconcile himself to God, and mocks him with repentance, while he retains the fruit of his wickedness. He who is truly penitent restores what he hath left to the person who was deprived of it, and pays the rest in devout sorrow for his trespass.<\/p>\n [If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 15.
