EZEKIEL 18:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,”
The righteous son gives bread to the hungry and covers the naked, refusing to exploit the vulnerable through economic systems, maintaining moral integrity in every dimension of social interaction. The positive virtues of compassion and concrete care for the vulnerable characterize the son's righteousness, moving him beyond mere avoidance of his father's sins into active pursuit of just relationships. His moral vision exceeds negative constraint to embrace constructive justice.
