Ezekiel 18:14–16

14 If, however, he begets a son

Who sees all the sins which his father has done,

And considers but does not do likewise;

Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,

Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;

16 Has not oppressed anyone,

Nor withheld a pledge,

Nor robbed by violence,

But has given his bread to the hungry

And covered the naked with clothing;
