Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 18:7

"and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;" — Ezekiel 18:7 (ASV)

To the debtor his pledge. —In the simple state of early Hebrew society, borrowing was resorted to only by the very poor, and the law abounds in precepts against any oppression or taking advantage in such cases (Exodus 22:25–27; Leviticus 25:14; Leviticus 25:17, and others). Special provision was made for restoring in a considerate way a pledge for borrowed money (Exodus 22:26; Deuteronomy 24:6; Deuteronomy 24:10, and others).

Given his bread. —In addition to the negative duties mentioned, there were also the positive ones of feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. It should be remembered that these duties, and general helpfulness to those who need our help, are not left optional in Scripture. Instead, they are positively required in both the Old and New Testaments, and their neglect is sin (Job 31:16–22; Isaiah 58:5; Isaiah 58:7; Matthew 25:34–46; James 1:27; James 2:15–16).
