Ezekiel 18:14-20
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.
19“Yet you say, ‘aWhy should the son not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity?’ But the son has done bjustice and righteousness and has kept all My statutes and done them. He shall surely live. 20“The soul who asins will die. The bson will not bear the iniquity of the father, nor will the father bear the iniquity of the son; the crighteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.
