Ezekiel 18:2-4

International Standard Version

² “Why do you cite this proverb when you talk about Israel’s land: ‘The fathers eat sour grapes but it’s their children’s teeth that have become numb.’ ³ As long as I live,” declares the Lord, “you won’t use this proverb about Israel anymore. ⁴ Look! Every living soul belongs to me—the father’s as well as the son’s.^[a] So pay attention! The person who keeps on sinning is going to die.”
