‘The afathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge’?
The soul of the father
As well as the soul of the son is Mine;
bThe soul who sins shall die.
Nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor bdefiled his neighbor’s wife,
Nor approached ca woman during her impurity;
But has restored to the debtor his bpledge;
Has robbed no one by violence,
But has cgiven his bread to the hungry
And covered the naked with dclothing;

Ezekiel 18:4
All souls are mine - Equally so; I am the Father of the spirits of all flesh, and shall deal impartially with the whole.
The soul that sinneth, it shall die - None shall die for another' s crimes, none shall be saved by another' s righteousness. Here is the general judgment relative to the righteousness and unrighteousness of men, and the influence of one man' s state on that of another; particularly in respect to their moral conduct.
