God Deals Justly with Individuals
18 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “(A)What do you people mean by using this proverb about the land of Israel, saying,
3 As I live,” declares the Lord [b]God, “you certainly are not going to use this proverb in Israel anymore. 4 Behold, (C)all [c]souls are Mine; the [d]soul of the father as well as the [e]soul of the son is Mine. The [f]soul who (D)sins will die.

The Soul Who Sins Shall Die
18 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “What do you[a] mean (A)by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, (B)‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge’? 3 (C)As I live, declares the Lord God, (D)this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. 4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: (E)the soul who sins shall die.
