Ezekiel 18:10–18

¹⁰“If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things,↗

¹¹or who does not do any of those things but has eaten at the mountain shrines and defiled his neighbor’s wife,↗

¹²has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,↗

¹³has lent with interest, and has taken increase from the poor, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.↗

¹⁴“Now, behold, if he fathers a son who sees all his father’s sins which he has done, and fears, and doesn’t do likewise,↗

¹⁵who hasn’t eaten on the mountains, hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife,↗

¹⁶hasn’t wronged any, hasn’t taken anything to pledge, hasn’t taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;↗

¹⁷who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who hasn’t received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.↗

¹⁸As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.↗
