Ezekiel 18:10–18

¹⁰“Then he may ¹have a violent son who sheds blood and who does any of these things to a brother

¹¹(though he himself did not do any of these things), that is, he even eats at the mountain shrines and ^adefiles his neighbor’s wife;

¹²he mistreats the ^aafflicted and needy, ^bcommits robbery, does not return a pledge, but lifts up his eyes to the idols and ^cdoes abominations;

¹³he ^alends money on interest and takes increase; will he live? He will not live! He has done all these abominations; he will surely be put to death; his ^bblood will be on himself.

¹⁴“Now behold, he ¹has a son who has seen all his father’s sins which he has done. And he ^asaw this but does not do likewise.

¹⁵“He does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or defile his neighbor’s wife

¹⁶or mistreat anyone, or retain a pledge or commit robbery, but he ^agives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing;

¹⁷he turns his hand away from ¹the afflicted, does not take interest or increase, but does My judgments and walks in My statutes; ^ahe will not die for his father’s iniquity; he will surely live.

¹⁸“As for his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what was not good among his people, behold, he will die for his iniquity.
