Ezekiel 18:10–18

¹⁰And if he have begotten a son that is violent, a shedder of blood, and that doeth only one of any of these things, ¹¹and that doeth not any of those duties, but also hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife, ¹²hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination, ¹³given forth upon usury, and taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall certainly die; his blood shall be upon him. ¹⁴But lo, if he have begotten a son that seeth all his father’s sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like: ¹⁵—he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife, ¹⁶and hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment; ¹⁷he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, and walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly live. ¹⁸As for his father, because he practised oppression, exercised robbery upon his brother, and did what was not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
