Car celui qui vend ne retournera point � ce qu'il aura vendu, quand ils seraient encore en vie; parce que la vision touchant toute la multitude de son [pays] ne sera point r�voqu�e, et chacun [portera] la peine de son iniquit�, tant qu'il vivra; ils ne reprendront jamais courage.
Car le vendeur ne recouvrera pas ce qu'il a vendu, quand m�me il serait encore vivant; car la proph�tie concernant toute leur multitude ne sera point r�voqu�e; et aucun, gr�ce � son iniquit�, ne maintiendra sa vie.
Non, le vendeur ne recouvrera pas ce qu'il a vendu, F�t-il encore parmi les vivants; Car la proph�tie contre toute leur multitude ne sera pas r�voqu�e, Et � cause de son iniquit� nul ne conservera sa vie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold,.... In the year of jubilee, because he shall be in captivity: according to the law in Leviticus 25:13, when a man had sold his possession, he returned to it again, if alive, in the year of jubilee; let it come sooner or later, within thirty, or twenty, or ten years after the sale, be it as it will: now the Babylonish captivity being seventy years, in that time there must be a jubilee; and yet those that had sold their estates, being captives in another land, could not return to them:
although they were yet alive: either though what they have sold is in being, and in good condition; or rather, though they that have sold them are in the land of the living, but, not being in their own land, cannot possess:
for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof; the prophecy of the destruction of the Jews is general, and respects the whole body of the people; men of all ranks and degrees, the buyer and the seller, the rich and the poor:
[which] shall not return; void and of no effect, but shall be fully accomplished; see Isaiah 54:11; though some think this refers not to prophecy, but to the people, who did not upon it return by repentance; in this sense it is taken by Jarchi and Kimchi; and so the Targum,
"for the prophets prophesied to the whole multitude of them to return by repentance, and they returned not:''
neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life: either secure himself from danger by his unrighteous mammon, his ill gotten goods; or think to escape by his daring impiety, and vicious course of life, continued in without repentance.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Although they were yet alive - Though they be yet among the living.
Which shall not return ... - He (i. e. the seller) shall not return; and, every man living in his iniquity, they shall gather no strength. Exile being the punishment of iniquity, the exiles were said to “live in their iniquity.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 7:13. For the seller shall not return — In the sale of all heritages among the Jews, it was always understood that the heritage must return to the family on the year of jubilee, which was every fiftieth year; but in this case the seller should not return to possess it, as it was not likely that he should be alive when the next jubilee should come, and if he were even to live till that time, he could not possess it, as he would then be in captivity. And the reason is particularly given; for the vision-the prophetic declaration of a seventy years' captivity, regards the whole multitude of the people; and it shall not return, i.e., it will be found to be strictly true, without any abatement.
