Ezekiel 18:2-4
Expanded Bible
2 “What do you mean by ·using [quoting; repeating] this ·saying [proverb] about the land of Israel:
‘The ·parents [fathers] have eaten sour grapes,
and ·that caused the children to grind their teeth from the sour taste [T the children’s teeth are set on edge; C the children suffer for their parents’ sins; Jer. 31:29–30]’?
3 “As surely as I live, says the Lord God, you will not use this ·saying [proverb] in Israel anymore. 4 Every ·living thing [soul] belongs to me. The ·life [soul] of the ·parent [father] is mine, and the ·life [soul] of the child is mine. The ·person [soul] who sins is the one who will die.

2 «Perché dite nel paese d'*Israele questo proverbio: “I padri hanno mangiato uva acerba e i denti dei figli si sono allegati?” 3 Com'è vero che io vivo, dice Dio, il Signore, non avrete piú occasione di dire questo proverbio in Israele. 4 Ecco, tutte le vite sono mie; è mia tanto la vita del padre quanto quella del figlio; chi pecca morirà.
