Context of Ezekiel 18:11
9walks in My laws and keeps My statutes, behaving honestly. Such a person is just—he will surely live.” It is a declaration of Adonai. 10“Now suppose he fathers a son who is violent, who sheds blood and does any of these things to a brother (though the father himself does none of these things). He has even eaten at mountain shrines, defiled his neighbor’s wife, 12wronged the poor and needy, taken by robbery, not restored the pledge, lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination, 13loaned with interest and taken unjust gain. Will he then live? He will not live! He has done all these detestable things. He will surely be put to death and his blood will be on him.
