Ezekiel 18:14-20

14“Now suppose he has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do likewise.

15He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.

16He doesn’t oppress anyone, hold collateral, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.

17He keeps his hand from harming the poor, not taking interest or profit on a loan. He practices my ordinances and follows my statutes. Such a person will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will certainly live.

18“As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practiced fraud, robbed his brother, and did among his people what was not good.

19But you may ask, ‘Why doesn’t the son suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity? ’ Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all my statutes, he will certainly live.

20The person who sins is the one who will die. A son won’t suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity, and a father won’t suffer punishment for the son’s iniquity. The righteousness of the righteous person will be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on him.
