See Poole "Eze 18:7". In the seventh verse the words are more large, condemning the oppressing of any one; here they do more particularly condemn oppressing
the poor, which have little to maintain and less to defend themselves; and needy is added, to render us more sensible of the greatness of this sin, which takes away right where we should show charity.

the poor and needy
The words "poor" and "needy" share similar meanings and emphasize that these are people who cannot help themselves. (See: Doublet)
he lifts up his eyes to the idols
The idiom "lifts up his eyes" refers to looking toward something. With reference to idols, this gesture represents worshiping or praying to idols. See how you translated a similar phrase in Ezekiel 18:6. AT: "he worships the idols" or "he prays to the idols" (See: Symbolic Action)
interest
This word refers to the money paid by a person to use borrowed money. However, some modern versions interpret "any interest" in this passage as "too much interest."
should that man live? Surely he will not!
Yahweh asks this as a leading question in order to emphasize the negative answer. AT: "he will certainly not live!" (See: Rhetorical Question)
his blood will be on him
Here the word "blood" represents death. For blood to be on a person is an idiom that means the person is responsible for that death. AT: "he will be responsible for his own death" (See: Metonymy and Idiom)
