Ezekiel 18:10–18

¹⁰And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one of these things:

¹¹Though he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour’s wife:

¹²That grieveth the needy and the poor, that taketh away by violence, that restoreth not the pledge, and that lifteth up his eyes to idols, that comitteth abomination:

¹³That giveth upon usury, and that taketh an increase: shall such a one live? he shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these detestable things, he shall surely die, his blood shall be upon him.

¹⁴But if he beget a son, who, seeing all his father’s sins, which he hath done, is afraid, and shall not do the like to them:

¹⁵That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife:

¹⁶And hath not grieved any man, nor withholden the pledge, nor taken away with violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment:

¹⁷That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live.

¹⁸As for his father, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother, and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold he is dead in his own iniquity.
