Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the word of the Lord came unto me again, saying. The word of prophecy from the Lord, as the Targum; and its being mentioned is coming from the Lord is to give it weight and authority. This is a distinct sermon or prophecy from the former, and was sent and delivered out at another time.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The last verse of Ezekiel 17:0 gives occasion for a declaration of the principle upon which God’s providential dispensations proceed, namely, that every individual shall be equitably dealt with - a principle that precludes the children from either presuming on the father’s merits or despairing on account of the father’s guilt. This chapter is an enlargement of Jeremiah 31:29, and sets forth fully the doctrine of individual responsibility.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVIII
The Jews, in Ezekiel's time, complained of God's dealing hardly
with them in punishing them for the sins of their forefathers,
1, 2;
their temporal calamities having been long threatened as the
consequence of the national guilt, (Jeremiah 15:4, c.)
and, from the general complexion of this chapter, it appears
that the Jews so interpreted the second commandment of the
Decalogue and other passages of like import, as if the sins of
the forefathers were visited upon the children, independently
of the moral conduct of the latter, not only in this world, but
in that which is to come. To remove every foundation for such
an unworthy idea of the Divine gorcrnment, God assures them,
with an oath, that he had no respect of persons, 3, 4;
strongly intimating that the great mysteries in Providence,
(mysterious only on account of the limited capacity of man,)
are results of the most impartial administration of justice;
and that this would be particularly manifested in the rewards
and punishments of another life; when every ligament that at
present connects societies and nations together shall be
dissolved, and each person receive according to his work, and
bear his own burden. This is illustrated by a variety of
examples: such as that of a just or righteous man, 5-9;
his wicked son, 10-13;
and again the just son of this wicked person, 14-20.
Then a wicked man repenting, and finding mercy, whose former
wickedness shall be no impediment to his salvation, 21-23;
and a righteous man revolting, and dying in his sins, whose
former righteousness shall be of no avail, 24.
The conduct of the Divine Providence is then vindicated, 25-29;
and all persons, without any exception, most earnestly exhorted
to repentance, 30, 31;
because the Lord hath no pleasure in the death of the sinner,
32.
As the whole of this chapter is taken up with the illustration
of a doctrine nearly connected with the comfort of man, and the
honour of the Divine government, the prophet, with great
propriety, lays aside his usual mode of figure and allegory,
and treats his subject with the utmost plainness and
perspicuity.
