Ezekiel 18:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹²He treats poor and needy people badly.
    He steals.
He does not pay back what he owes.
    He worships statues of gods.
He does other things I hate.
¹³    He charges interest when he lends money to poor people. He makes money from them.

Will a man like that live? He will not! He must be put to death. And what happens to him will be his own fault. He did many things I hate.

¹⁴“But suppose this son has a son of his own. And the son sees all the sins his father commits. He sees them, but he does not do them.

¹²If he has oppressed the poor and needy,
Robbed by violence,
