Ezekiel 18:9-19

English Standard Version

⁹^(A)walks in my statutes, and keeps my rules by acting faithfully—he is righteous; ^(B)he shall surely live, declares the Lord God.

¹⁰“If he fathers a son who is violent, ^(C)a shedder of blood, who does any of these things ¹¹(though he himself did none of these things), ^(D)who even eats upon the mountains, ^(E)defiles his neighbor's wife, ¹²oppresses the poor and needy, ^(F)commits robbery, ^(G)does not restore the pledge, ^(H)lifts up his eyes to the idols, ^(I)commits abomination, ¹³^(J)lends at interest, and takes profit; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; ^(K)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, ^(L)exacts no pledge, ^(M)commits no robbery, ^(N)but gives his bread to the hungry ^(O)and covers the naked with a garment, ¹⁷withholds his hand from iniquity,^[a] takes no interest or profit, obeys my rules, ^(P)and walks in my statutes; he shall not die for his father's iniquity; ^(Q)he shall surely live. ¹⁸As for his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people, ^(R)behold, he shall die for his iniquity.

¹⁹“Yet you say, ^(S)‘Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done ^(T)what is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, ^(U)he shall surely live.

declares the Sovereign Lord.

¹⁰“Suppose he has a violent son, who sheds blood^(D) or does any of these other things^[a] ¹¹(though the father has done none of them):

“He eats at the mountain shrines.^(E)
He defiles his neighbor’s wife.
¹²He oppresses the poor^(F) and needy.
He commits robbery.
He does not return what he took in pledge.^(G)
He looks to the idols.
He does detestable things.^(H)
¹³He lends at interest and takes a profit.^(I)

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.^(J)

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:^(K)

¹⁵“He does not eat at the mountain shrines^(L)

He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
¹⁶He does not oppress anyone

He does not commit robbery
    but gives his food to the hungry^(N)
    and provides clothing for the naked.^(O)
¹⁷He withholds his hand from mistreating the poor
    and takes no interest or profit from them.
He keeps my laws^(P) and follows my decrees.

He will not die for his father’s sin; he will surely live. ¹⁸But 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.^(Q)
