14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins which he hath done, and yyconsidereth, and doeth not such like, 15 That fhath not eaten upon the mountains, neither ghath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hhath not defiled his neighbour’s wife, 16 Neither lhath oppressed any, †mhath not withholden the pledge, neither nhath spoiled by violence, but ohath given his bread to the hungry, and ohath covered the naked with a garment, 17 That zhath taken off his hand from the poor, qthat hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, uhath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, vhe shall surely live. 18 As for his father, because ahe cruelly oppressed, anspoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even bhe shall die in his iniquity.

19 Yet say ye, Why? cdoth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done dthat which is lawful and right, and ddhath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, ehe shall surely live. 20 fThe soul that sinneth, it shall die. gThe son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: hthe righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and hithe wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
