Ezekiel 18:14-17

14“Now behold, he 1has a son who has observed all his father’s sins which he committed, and 2observing does not do likewise.

15He does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or defile his neighbor’s wife,

16or oppress anyone, or retain a pledge, or commit robbery, but he 3gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing,

17he keeps his hand from 4the poor, does not take interest or increase, but executes My ordinances, and walks in My statutes; 5he will not die for his father’s iniquity, he will surely live.
