Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 33:13

13 When I shall say to the righteous that he shall surely live ; if he trust to his own righteousness , and commit iniquity , all his righteousness shall not be remembred ; but for his iniquity that he hath committed he shall die for it .

Who hath in his life, for what is past, kept the Law, and forborn evil, hath done what is right and good, and not done what is evil, both which parts of this Righteousness are described in chap. 18. ver. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Make him promise of doing him good, and giving him Life, Peace, every Blessing, and Happiness.

If he conclude former Righteousness is sufficient, and therefore turn to ways of sin pleasing to an evil heart.

Give himself to doing evil, as 'twere his work.

No regard shall be had to what he had done, he doth himself practically renounce it, and interpretatively recant his doing it.

In his Apostacy, and backs[illegible: 1 letter]idden state.

Shall be punished, his comforts shall be taken away, or die in his hand, he shall live, and die miserably.

His iniquity, and punishment of it, and this is emphatically repeated, as chap. 18.26.
