Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 18:14-18.


Ezekiel 18:17

_ _ taken off his hand from the poor — that is, abstained from oppressing the poor, when he had the opportunity of doing so with impunity. The different sense of the phrase in Ezekiel 16:49, in reference to relieving the poor, seems to have suggested the reading followed by Fairbairn, but not sanctioned by the Hebrew, “hath not turned his hand from,” etc. But Ezekiel 20:22 uses the phrase in a somewhat similar sense to English Version here, abstained from hurting.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 18:10-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 18:17

Hath taken off — Withdrawn his hand from hurting or wronging the poor, tho' he had power to do it securely.
