Ezekiel 18:14-20
English Standard Version
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: 15 he 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, 16 does not oppress anyone, (A)exacts no pledge, (B)commits no robbery, (C)but gives his bread to the hungry (D)and covers the naked with a garment, 17 withholds his hand from iniquity,[a] takes no interest or profit, obeys my rules, (E)and walks in my statutes; he shall not die for his father's iniquity; (F)he shall surely live. 18 As for his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people, (G)behold, he shall die for his iniquity.
19 “Yet you say, (H)‘Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done (I)what is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, (J)he shall surely live. 20 (K)The soul who sins shall die. (L)The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. (M)The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, (N)and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

Ezekiel 18:14-20
New International Version
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:(A)
15 “He does not eat at the mountain shrines(B)
or look to the idols(C) of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
16 He does not oppress anyone
or require a pledge for a loan.
He does not commit robbery
but gives his food to the hungry(D)
and provides clothing for the naked.(E)
17 He withholds his hand from mistreating the poor
and takes no interest or profit from them.
He keeps my laws(F) and follows my decrees.
He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people.
19 “Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live.(G) 20 The one who sins is the one who will die.(H) The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.(I)
