Ezekiel 18:12-14
The Voice
12 He abuses the poor and persecutes the needy. He seizes property and keeps a debtor’s collateral. He looks up to breathless idols, worshiping them. He breaks the law and commits shocking deeds. 13 He charges those who borrow from him interest and makes excessive profits. Do you think the wicked son will live? Of course not! Because he has done all of these shocking things, he will be put to death, and it will be his own fault.
14 Now, suppose the wicked son has a son of his own, and this son watches his father’s vile lifestyle and chooses not to do as his father has done:
Ezekiel 18:12-14
New International Version
12 He oppresses the poor(A) and needy.
He commits robbery.
He does not return what he took in pledge.(B)
He looks to the idols.
He does detestable things.(C)
13 He lends at interest and takes a profit.(D)
Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head.(E)
14 “But suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father commits, and though he sees them, he does not do such things:(F)
