1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. "Why is it that you circulate among yourselves this parable, as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: 'The fathers ate a bitter grape, and the teeth of the sons have been affected.'
3. As I live, says the Lord God, this parable shall no longer be a proverb for you in Israel.
4. Behold, all souls are mine. Just as the soul of the father is mine, so also is the soul of the son. The soul that sins, the same shall die.
