New Century Version

Ezekiel 18:8-12 New Century Version (NCV)

8. He does not lend money to get too much interest or profit. He keeps his hand from doing wrong. He judges fairly between one person and another.

9. He lives by my rules and obeys my laws faithfully. Whoever does these things is good and will surely live, says the Lord God.

10. “But suppose this person has a wild son who murders people and who does any of these other things.

11. (But the father himself has not done any of these things.) This son eats at the mountain places of worship. He has sexual relations with his neighbor’s wife.

12. He mistreats the poor and needy. He steals and refuses to return what was promised for a loan. He looks to idols for help. He does things which I hate.
