Contextual Overview
1The word of the Lord came to me: 2“What do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel: 3As I live”—this is the declaration of the Lord God—“you will no longer use this proverb in Israel. 4Look, every life belongs to me. The life of the father is like the life of the son—both belong to me. The person who sins is the one who will die. 5“Suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right: 6He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her menstrual impurity. 7He doesn’t oppress anyone but returns his collateral to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing. 8He doesn’t lend at interest or for profit but keeps his hand from injustice and carries out true justice between men. 9He follows my statutes and keeps my ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

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.
