Ezekiel 18:7-16
7and if 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, 8and if he does not 4lend money at 5interest or take 67interest, if he keeps his hand from injustice and 8executes true justice between one person and another, 9if he walks in 9My statutes and keeps My ordinances so as to deal faithfully--10he is righteous and will certainly 11live,” 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 11(though he himself did not do any of these things), that is, he even eats at the mountain shrines, and 12defiles his neighbor’s wife, 12oppresses the 13poor and needy, 14commits robbery, does not restore a pledge, but raises his eyes to the idols and 15commits abomination, 1316lends money at interest and takes 17interest; will he live? He will not live! He has committed all these abominations, he shall certainly be put to death; his 18blood will be on himself.
14“Now behold, he has fathered a son who saw all his father’s sins which he committed, but he has 19seen them and does not do likewise. 15He does not eat at the mountain shrines or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he has not defiled his neighbor’s wife, 16nor oppressed anyone, nor retained a pledge, nor committed robbery; instead, he 20gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing,
