Ezekiel 18:7-16
7if a man does not oppress anyone, but 1restores to the debtor his pledge, 2does not commit robbery, but 3gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing, 8if he does not lend money on 4interest or take 5increase, if he keeps his hand from iniquity and 6executes true justice between man and man, 9if he walks in 7My statutes and My ordinances so as to deal faithfully--8he is righteous and will surely 9live,” declares the Lord God.
10“Then he may 10have a violent son who sheds blood and who does any of these things to a brother 11(though he himself did not do any of these things), that is, he even eats at the mountain shrines, and 11defiles his neighbor’s wife, 12oppresses the 12poor and needy, 13commits robbery, does not restore a pledge, but lifts up his eyes to the idols and 14commits abomination, 13he 15lends money on interest and takes increase; will he live? He will not live! He has committed all these abominations, he will surely be put to death; his 16blood will be 17on his own head.
14“Now behold, he 18has a son who has observed all his father’s sins which he committed, and 19observing 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 20gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing,
