Ezekiel 18:5-13

5But if a man is just And does what is lawful and right;

6If he has not eaten on the mountains, Nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife, Nor approached a woman during her impurity;

7If he has not oppressed anyone, But has restored to the debtor his pledge; Has robbed no one by violence, But has given his bread to the hungry And covered the naked with clothing;

8If he has not exacted usury Nor taken any increase, But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity And executed true judgment between man and man;

9If he has walked in My statutes And kept My judgments faithfully— He is just; He shall surely live!” Says the Lord God.

10“If he begets a son who is a robber Or a shedder of blood, Who does any of these things

11And does none of those duties, But has eaten on the mountains Or defiled his neighbor’s wife;

12If he has oppressed the poor and needy, Robbed by violence, Not restored the pledge, Lifted his eyes to the idols, Or committed abomination;

13If he has exacted usury Or taken increase— Shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him.
