Ezekiel 33:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

The righteous; who hath in his life that is past kept the law and forborne evil, hath done what is right and good, and not done what is evil, both which parts of this righteousness are described in Eze. xviii, 5-9. He shall surely live; make him promise of doing him good, and giving him life, peace, every blessing, and happiness. If he trust to his own righteousness; if he conclude former righteousness is sufficient, and therefore turn to ways of sin, pleasing to an evil heart. Commit iniquity; give himself to doing evil, as it were his work. Shall not be remembered; no regard shall be had to what he had done, he doth himself practically renounce it, and interpretatively recant his doing it. His iniquity that he hath committed; in his apostacy and backslidden state. He shall die; shall be punished, his comforts shall be taken away or die in his hand, he shall live and die miserably. For it; his iniquity and punishment of it, and this is emphatically repeated, as Ezekiel 18:26.
