Ezekiel 18:10-13
Lexham English Bible
10 “And now he has a son, a violent one, who sheds blood[a] and does any of these things[b] 11 (though[c] he[d] did not do all of these things), for the son also[e] eats on the mountains and he defiles the wife of his neighbor. 12 He oppresses the needy and the poor, and he commits robbery,[f] and he does not return a pledge for a loan, and he lifts his eyes to the idols so he does a detestable thing. 13 He charges interest[g] and takes usury. Then, shall he live? He shall not live, for he did all of these detestable things. Surely he will die! His blood will be on him.

10 “Now suppose that person produces a son who’s violent, a murderer, and practices any of these things, 11 even though the father[a] hasn’t done any of these things. The son who eats at mountain shrines, defiles his neighbor’s wife, 12 oppresses the afflicted and the poor, robs others, doesn’t return security for a debt, looks to idols, does detestable things, 13 loans with usury, and exacts interest; will he live? He certainly will not! He has done all these detestable practices. He will certainly die, and his guilt will be his own fault.”[b]
