Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Yehezkiel 21:30

And on this, our Sages of blessed memory commented (Berakhot 18a) that “the living know that they will die” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) refers to the righteous, etc., meaning that they know they will die and therefore the remembrance of the day of death is constantly before their eyes, and this saves them from sin. And the dead know nothing refers to the wicked, who even during their lives are called dead, as it is said, And you, O corpse, wicked one, etc., whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end (Ezekiel 21:30). Meaning, the wicked know nothing because the remembrance of the day of death is not before their eyes at all. And this is what it means when it says, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end, meaning, because of the sin regarding his end, for the remembrance of his end was not before his eyes at all. Unlike David, who prayed and said, Lord, make me know my end, etc. (Psalms 39:5), but rather their inner thought is that their houses will last forever (Psalms 49:12). And this is a precious interpretation.
