Context of Ezekiel 18:11

9if he walks in My statutes and keeps My ordinances so as to deal faithfully--he is righteous and will certainly live,” declares the Lord God. 10“However, he may father a violent son who sheds blood, and does any one of these things to a brother (though he himself did not do any of these things), that is, he even eats at the mountain shrines, and defiles his neighbor’s wife, 12oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not restore a pledge, but raises his eyes to the idols and commits abomination, 13lends money at interest and takes interest; will he live? He will not live! He has committed all these abominations, he shall certainly be put to death; his blood will be on himself.
