Ezekiel 18:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Walked; framed his life, and managed his conversation, conformed to the good, just, and holy ordinances of God. In my statutes; in matters of religion, hath kept to the direction of God's law. Kept my judgments, in matters of civil concern between man and man. To deal truly; to act sincerely, with an honest heart, according to the best of his knowledge and judgment. He is just; is just comparatively, so far righteous that he shall not feel, nor need he fear, to suffer what others sins bring upon them, he shall not suffer what he hath not deserved. Shall surely live; shall be delivered from famine, pestilence, and sword, shall see good days, as Psalms 34:12,13; his teeth shall not be set on edge, whatever quarrelling sinners say or think, but the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him.

Ezekiel 18:9

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