Context of Ezekiel 18:10
8He does not lend money to someone and then ask to receive more money back. He refuses to do anything that is wrong. He helps people in a way that is right and fair. 9He faithfully obeys my laws and my rules. A man like that is righteous. He will continue to live. That is what the Almighty Lord says. But that man may have a son who is cruel and violent. He may kill other people. He may do those bad things that his father never did. 11He may go up the mountains and eat the food of idols. He might have sex with another man's wife. 12He might be cruel to people who are poor and weak. He might take things that belong to other people. He might not give back things that he took as a guarantee. He prays to idols. He does disgusting things.
