Compare all
14 “You shall not aoppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates.  
15 Each day ayou shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; blest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.  
16 a“Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.  
17 a“You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, bnor take a widow’s garment as a pledge.  
18 But ayou shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I command you to do this thing.

John Wesley's Notes

Deuteronomy 24:16

Not put to death - If the one be free from the guilt of the others sin, except in those cases where the sovereign Lord of life and death, before whom none is innocent, hath commanded it, as Deu. 13:1-18; Joshua 7:24. For though God do visit the father's sins upon the children, Exodus 20:5, yet he will not suffer men to do so.
