Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| To meet the Jews' cry of despair in Eze 33:10, Ezekiel here cheers them by the assurance that God has no pleasure in their death, but that they should repent and live (Pe2 3:9). A yearning tenderness manifests itself here, notwithstanding all their past sins; yet with it a holiness that abates nothing of its demands for the honor of God's authority. God's righteousness is vindicated as in Eze 3:18-21 and Eze. 18:1-32, by the statement that each should be treated with the closest adaptation of God's justice to his particular case. |

| As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked - From this to the twentieth verse inclusive is nearly the same with Ezekiel 18, on which I wish the reader to consult the notes. |
18 When I say [0559] unto the wicked [07563], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]; and thou givest him not warning [02094], nor speakest [01696] to warn [02094] the wicked [07563] from his wicked [07563] way [01870], to save his life [02421]; the same wicked [07563] man shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01245] at thine hand [03027].
19 Yet if thou warn [02094] the wicked [07563], and he turn [07725] not from his wickedness [07562], nor from his wicked [07563] way [01870], he shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]; but thou hast delivered [05337] thy soul [05315].
20 Again [07725], When a righteous [06662] man doth turn [07725] from his righteousness [06664], and commit [06213] iniquity [05766], and I lay [05414] a stumblingblock [04383] before [06440] him, he shall die [04191]: because thou hast not given him warning [02094], he shall die [04191] in his sin [02403], and his righteousness [06666] which he hath done [06213] shall not be remembered [02142]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01245] at thine hand [03027].
21 Nevertheless if thou warn [02094] the righteous [06662] man, that the righteous [06662] sin [02398] not, and he doth not sin [02398], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], because he is warned [02094]; also thou hast delivered [05337] thy soul [05315].
9 The Lord [2962] is [1019] not [3756] slack [1019] concerning his promise [1860], as [5613] some men [5100] count [2233] slackness [1022]; but [235] is longsuffering [3114] to [1519] us-ward [2248], not [3361] willing [1014] that any [5100] should perish [622], but [235] that all [3956] should come [5562] to [1519] repentance [3341].
10 Therefore, O thou son [01121] of man [0120], speak [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; Thus ye speak [0559], saying [0559], If our transgressions [06588] and our sins [02403] be upon us, and we pine away [04743] in them, how should we then live [02421]?
