Ezekiel 18:13
Shall he then live? - Because his father was a righteous man, shall the father' s holiness be imputed to him? No!
He shad surely die; his blood shall be upon him - He shall suffer for his own crimes.
12 If he has oppressed the poor and needy,
Robbed by violence,
Not restored the pledge,
Lifted his eyes to the idols,
Or acommitted abomination;
Robbed by violence,
Not restored the pledge,
Lifted his eyes to the idols,
Or acommitted abomination;
13 If he has exacted usury
Or taken increase—
Shall he then live?
He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations,
He shall surely die;
aHis blood shall be upon him.
Or taken increase—
Shall he then live?
He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations,
He shall surely die;
aHis blood shall be upon him.
14 “If, however, he begets a son
Who sees all the sins which his father has done,
And considers but does not do likewise;
Who sees all the sins which his father has done,
And considers but does not do likewise;
15 aWho has not eaten1 on the mountains,
Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;
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;
Nor withheld a pledge,
Nor robbed by violence,
But has given his bread to the hungry
And covered the naked with clothing;
