Ezekiel 7:13
_ _ although they were yet alive — although they should live to the year of jubilee.
_ _ multitude thereof — namely, of the Jews.
_ _ which shall not return — answering to “the seller shall not return”; not only he, but the whole multitude, shall not return. Calvin omits “is” and “which”: “the vision touching the whole multitude shall not return” void (Isaiah 55:11).
_ _ neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life — No hardening of one’s self in iniquity will avail against God’s threat of punishment. Fairbairn translates, “no one by his iniquity shall invigorate his life”; referring to the jubilee, which was regarded as a revivification of the whole commonwealth, when, its disorders being rectified, the body politic sprang up again into renewed life. That for which God thus provided by the institution of the jubilee and which is now to cease through the nation’s iniquity, let none think to bring about by his iniquity. |
Ezekiel 7:13
Yet alive — For if any should survive the captivity, yet the conqueror wasting and destroying all, would confound all ancient boundaries. Touching — The evils threatened are designed against all the multitude of Israel. Strengthen — Nor shall any one man of them all he able to secure himself, by any sinful contrivance. |
Ezekiel 7:13
For the seller shall not (l) return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the (m) vision [is] concerning its whole multitude, [which] shall not return; (n) neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
(l) In the year of the Jubile, meaning that none would enjoy the privilege of the law, (Leviticus 25:13) for they would all be carried away captives.
(m) This vision signified that all would be carried away, and none would return for the Jubile.
(n) No man for all this endeavours himself or takes heart to repent for his evil life. Some read, for none will be strengthened in his iniquity of his life: meaning that they would gain nothing by flattering themselves in evil. |
- the seller:
Ecclesiastes 8:8 [There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither [hath he] power in the day of death: and [there is] no discharge in [that] war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
Leviticus 25:24-28 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. ... But if he be not able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
Leviticus 25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

Ezekiel 13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Ezekiel 33:26-27 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? ... Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that [is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that [be] in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
Job 15:25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
