Ezekiel 18:14-20

14“Now beholdH2009, he 1hasH3205 a sonH1121 who has observedH7200 allH3605 his father’sH1 sinsH2403 whichH834 he committedH6213, and 2observingH7200 does not doH6213 likewiseH2004. 15He does not eatH398 at the mountainH2022 shrines or liftH5375 up his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or defileH2930 his neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802, 16or oppressH3238 anyoneH376, or retainH2254 a pledgeH2258, or commitH1497 robberyH1500, but he 3givesH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457 and coversH3680 the nakedH5903 with clothingH899, 17he keepsH7725 his handH3027 from 4the poorH6041, does not takeH3947 interestH5392 or increaseH8636, but executesH6213 My ordinancesH4941, and walksH1980 in My statutesH2708; 5he will not dieH4191 for his father’sH1 iniquityH5771, he will surelyH2421 liveH2421. 18As for his fatherH1, becauseH3588 he practicedH6231 extortionH6233, robbedH1497 his brotherH251 and didH6213 whatH834 was not goodH2896 amongH8432 his peopleH5971, beholdH2009, he will dieH4191 for his iniquityH5771.

19“Yet you sayH559, ‘6WhyH4069 should the sonH1121 not bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for the father’sH1 iniquityH5771?’ When the sonH1121 has practicedH6213 7justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666 and has observedH8104 allH3605 My statutesH2708 and doneH6213 them, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421. 20The personH5315 who 8sinsH2398 will dieH4191. The 9sonH1121 will not bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for the father’sH1 iniquityH5771, norH3808 will the fatherH1 bearH5375 the punishmentH5771 for the son’sH1121 iniquityH5771; the 10righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 will be upon himself, and the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563 will be upon himself.
