Ezekiel 18:17-19

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁷ He keeps his hand from harming the poor, not taking interest or profit on a loan. He practises my ordinances and follows my statutes. Such a person will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will certainly live.

¹⁸ ‘As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practised fraud, robbed his brother, and did among his people what was not good.^{(A) 19} But you may ask, “Why doesn’t the son suffer punishment for the father’s iniquity? ”^(B) Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all my statutes, he will certainly live.
