Ezekiel 18:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ He is not cruel to anyone. He does not keep anything that he has taken from someone as a guarantee. He does not rob other people. But he gives food to hungry people. He gives clothes to poor people. ¹⁷ He refuses to do anything that is wrong. When he lends money to people, he does not take more back money back from them. He obeys my rules and my laws.

This man will certainly continue to live. He will not die because of his father's sins. ¹⁸ But his father will die as punishment for his own sins. He cheated people. He robbed people. He did evil things among his own people. So he will die because of his own sins.
