Ezekiel 18:5-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 “Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right: 6 He does not eat at the mountain shrines(A) or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife(B) or come near a woman during her menstrual impurity.(C) 7 He doesn’t oppress anyone(D) but returns his collateral to the debtor.(E) He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry(F) and covers the naked with clothing. 8 He doesn’t lend at interest or for profit(G) but keeps his hand from wrongdoing and carries out true justice between men.(H) 9 He follows My statutes and keeps My ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live.”(I) This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Ezekiel 18:5-9
Common English Bible
5 People are declared innocent when they act justly and responsibly. 6 They don’t eat on the hills or give their attention to the idols of the house of Israel. They don’t defile the wives of their neighbors or approach menstruating women. 7 They don’t cheat anyone, but fulfill their obligations. They don’t rob others, but give food to the hungry and clothes to the naked. 8 They don’t impose interest or take profit. They refrain from evil and settle cases between people fairly. 9 They follow my regulations, keep my case laws, and act faithfully. Such people are innocent, and they will live, proclaims the Lord God.
