Contextual Overview
1 The Lord said: 2 Ezekiel, I hear the people of Israel using the old saying, "Sour grapes eaten by parents leave a sour taste in the mouths of their children." 3 Now tell them that I am the Lord God, and as surely as I live, that saying will no longer be used in Israel. 4 The lives of all people belong to me—parents as well as children. Only those who sin will be put to death. 5 Suppose there is a truly good man who always does what is fair and right. 6 He refuses to eat meat sacrificed to foreign gods at local shrines or to worship Israel's idols. He doesn't have sex with someone else's wife or with a woman having her monthly period. 7 He never cheats or robs anyone and always returns anything taken as security for a loan; he gives food and clothes to the poor 8 and doesn't charge interest when lending money. He refuses to do anything evil; he is fair to everyone 9 and faithfully obeys my laws and teachings. This man is good, and I promise he will live.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And hath not oppressed any,.... By fraud or force, particularly the poor, to the great grief and hurt of them:
[but] hath restored to the debtor his pledge; which was pawned; not embezzling it, or keeping it beyond the time fixed by the law of God,
Deuteronomy 24:12;
hath spoiled none by violence; has not committed theft and robbery, or done injury to any man's person and property:
hath given his bread to the hungry; which was his own; what he had laboured for, and come by honestly, and so had a right to dispose of; and being merciful, as well as just, eats not his morsel alone, but distributes it to the poor and hungry, Isaiah 58:7;
and hath covered the naked with a garment; as Job did, as well as the former, and for which Dorcas is commended, Job 31:17.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 7:5. Hath not oppressed any — Has not used his power or influence to oppress, pain, or injure another.
6. Hath restored to the debtor his pledge — Has carefully surrendered the pawn or pledge when its owner came to redeem it. As the pledge is generally of more worth than that for which it is pledged, an unprincipled man will make some pretence to keep it; which is highly abominable in the sight of God.
7. Hath spoiled none by violence — Either by robbery or personal insult. For a man may be spoiled both ways.
8. Hath given his bread to the hungry — Has been kind-hearted and charitable; especially to them that are in the deepest want.
9. Hath covered the naked with a garment — Has divided both his bread and his clothing with the necessitous. These are two branches of the same root.
