Context of Ezekiel 18:15
13When he lends money to people, he wants them to pay back a lot more money to him. A man like that will not continue to live! He will certainly die, because he himself has done all these disgusting things. He is guilty, so he himself must die as his punishment. 14But this wicked man might have a son himself. The son sees all the sins that his father has done. He thinks about them. Then he decides that he will not live as his father has lived. He does not go up the mountains to eat the food of idols. He does not pray to the idols that other Israelites worship. He does not have sex with another man's wife. 16He is not cruel to anyone. He does not keep anything that he has taken from someone as a guarantee. He does not rob other people. But he gives food to hungry people. He gives clothes to poor people. 17He refuses to do anything that is wrong. When he lends money to people, he does not take more back money back from them. He obeys my rules and my laws. This man will certainly continue to live. He will not die because of his father's sins.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 14-1814-18. The third case: a son who walks not in the steps of an unrighteous father, but in the ways of God; for example, Josiah, the pious son of guilty Amon; Hezekiah, of Ahaz (2Ki 16:1-20; 18:1-37; 21:1-22:20). seeth ... and considereth--The same Hebrew stands for both verbs, "seeth ... yea, seeth."
