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,

¹²oppresses the ^apoor and needy, ^bcommits robbery, does not restore a pledge, but lifts up his eyes to the idols and ^ccommits abomination,

¹³he ^alends money on interest and takes increase; will he live? He will not live! He has committed all these abominations, he will surely be put to death; his ^bblood will be ¹on his own head.

¹⁴“Now behold, he ¹has a son who has observed all his father’s sins which he committed, and ^aobserving 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 oppress anyone, or retain a pledge, or commit robbery, but he ^agives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing,

¹⁷he keeps his hand from ¹the poor, does not take interest or increase, but executes My ordinances, 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.
