Ezekiel 18:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² ‘You say this proverb about Israel: “The fathers have eaten bitter fruit, but it causes their children's teeth to hurt.” Why do you say that?^{[a] 3} Now I, the Lord God, tell you this: You will no longer say that proverb in Israel! ⁴ Everyone who lives belong to me. I have authority over the life of the father and over the life of the son. It is the people who do wrong things who will die because of their sins.
