Ezekiel 18:7-16

English Standard Version

⁷^(A)does not oppress anyone, but ^(B)restores to the debtor his pledge, ^(C)commits no robbery, ^(D)gives his bread to the hungry ^(E)and covers the naked with a garment, ⁸^(F)does not lend at interest ^(G)or take any profit,^[a] withholds his hand from injustice, ^(H)executes true justice between man and man, ⁹^(I)walks in my statutes, and keeps my rules by acting faithfully—he is righteous; ^(J)he shall surely live, declares the Lord God.

¹⁰“If he fathers a son who is violent, ^(K)a shedder of blood, who does any of these things ¹¹(though he himself did none of these things), ^(L)who even eats upon the mountains, ^(M)defiles his neighbor's wife, ¹²oppresses the poor and needy, ^(N)commits robbery, ^(O)does not restore the pledge, ^(P)lifts up his eyes to the idols, ^(Q)commits abomination, ¹³^(R)lends at interest, and takes profit; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; ^(S)his blood shall be upon himself.

¹⁴“Now suppose this man fathers a son who sees all the sins that his father has done; he sees, and does not do likewise: ¹⁵he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor's wife, ¹⁶does not oppress anyone, ^(T)exacts no pledge, ^(U)commits no robbery, ^(V)but gives his bread to the hungry ^(W)and covers the naked with a garment,
