Commentary on Ezekiel 18:7
'And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge.' True righteousness includes economic justice. The righteous person doesn't oppress the vulnerable but treats them fairly. Restoring the debtor's pledge refers to Mosaic law requiring return of items taken as security (Exodus 22:26-27, Deuteronomy 24:10-13). 'Hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment'—active compassion toward the needy, not merely avoiding harm.
